Yes, you can install Windows on a 3TB Fusion drive on the new iMac 5K.

So the BCA in EL-Capitan on this Model is able to create a suitable partition for Windows 10? Even under 1,2 TB in size?

I don't want to give Windows more then 500 GB and want only two partitions: Mac (FD) and Windows (HDD).

So this is possible with the new iMac?

Thanks!

Yes. Your 5K (both 2014 and 2015 models - Identify the model of your iMac - Apple Support ) support UEFI which means you do not need the convoluted hybrid MBR used on older 3TB Fusion models. I assume you want to install W8.1 or W10. I would not recommend (in fact I will discourage) Windows 7 on any iMac 5K.
