Windows Backup only works well if the cloned volume is smaller than the target. In the case of the OP, this is true, so it will work well, with built in support in the Windows installer.
For future reference, if your target disk is smaller than the cloned volume (when moving from a normal drive to an SSD, for example), and your volume contains less storage and can actually fit on the target disk but Windows won't properly resize it to a smaller volume, do not despair, it is quite possible to fix. Do a clone somewhere on a large disk. The resulting clone is at the same size as the used space on the volume + a little more for metadata and preallocations. Windows backups are actually VHD files, virtual HD files, mountable by Windows. There are tool for managing these, and Windows 8 has its own VHD editor (can be installed from Windows Features). Edit this VHD file to a smaller virtual size and yay, you can restore.

It doesn't take that much. Search "Windows Feb2014" on TPB, integrate into baseline image (~1 minute), put on USB flash (~10 minutes), install (~30 minutes), set your programs (~1.5 hrs) aaaaaand its gone!

My suggestion is a clean install. Yes it takes a bit more time but then you might avoid some issues in the future regarding Windows optimization depending on the storage it was installed on, possible registry issues etc...
Take a note which programs and tools you use, save some files, then clean GPT format -> clean install -> win
