No. Windows ships already well compressed. There's no way it'll compress further by 50%.

I've been getting about that rate of compression consistently with Clonezilla on windows 10. I also didn't have any problems relocating it... it just start a driver update step and then reboots normally, but idk about how licensing work for this cases.
