Can AOMEI Backupper restore windows from a bigger partition to a smaller partition?
So I got this new Lenovo laptop and usually I do a format and clean install but
I happen to like some of the pre-installed software and there is no way
to install it after a clean install. So I decided to keep the OEM
windows. So far, so good right?
The problem here is that the factory-configured C Partition has 850 GB
allocated to it while the the D partition is about 25 GB, which horribly
stupid imo. And Lenovo OneKey Recovery doesn't
support OS re-imaging if you resize the partitions. 
" />My policy has always been to keep my data on a separate partition from
the OS partition so I can re-install or re-image
the OS partition in case something goes wrong with the OS without losing
any of my data.
So my question is, is there a way to image my Windows 8 (UEFI)
OS from the current 850 gb partition and then restore to it say, a 450
GB partition? Any help would be appreciated.

Hwairen,
This should work as long as the amount of data you have is less than the size of the target partition.
To restore windows from a bigger partition to a smaller partition, the feature will be supported better on the new version 2.1 is coming soon.
