I didn't know there was so much available knowledge about windows installation.

I wonder if it would be possible to do the opposite and boot a live linux system with a "better" windows installer ?

Should be pretty easy. Capture a WIM of a Windows EFI partition, then use wimlib-imagex to apply that and also the install.wim.

I'm not sure if the Windows boot process requires the UEFI boot entry to be present or if they drop their efi file in the standard location... but if not, you should just be able to copy it there.
