Windows 10 Hyper-V compatibility with NAS storage

Hi,

Is it possible in Win10 Hyper-V to run Hyper-V virtual machines with NAS storage.
Now the VMs are on my local hard disk but if I buy NAS with SMB support and iSCSI target possibility, is it possible?

If I compare for example Qnap NAS devices TVS-463 (Small business) and TS-231+ (home), there is a support in TVS-463 to VMWare, Citrix and Hyper-V but not in TS-231+. That TVS-463 is too expensive for my lab environments so does anyone know what does that support to virtualization technologies mean in NAS manufacturer specifications? One model is also Synology DS716+II which has support for virtualization but that is also too expensive. Every home-intended NAS models does not have support for virtualization at least in their own specifications.

If NAS supports iSCSI target, is it possible to keep my VM vhdx-files in NAS if my host is used as an initiator?
OR if NAS supports SMB 3, can I keep them in that network share on my win10 host. For example \\nas-server\VMS ?

Thank you!
