https://www.borgbackup.org

has insanely good deduplication and compression. May even fit everything on the 64gb usb.

But it does archives on a file basis, not partitions, so not sure what kind of hackerman admin priviledges you'd need to restore your windows in case you want to roll back. I've never used windows for this level of fucking with the os - but I've heard you can't modify sys32 etc. even when you use the admin account.
