@harrymc My problem was solved, but - sorry to say that - not thanks to your answer, which I find not factually correct. Moving the MSR is not possible. It has an unknown filesystem and thus cannot be moved. You can clone it to another location and delete the original, but Windows will not boot. It is mandatory to use Diskpart: you have to recreate the MSR using Diskpart, or Windows will not boot. Thus while partially true and indeed providing good links, I find this answer not ready. If you want to edit the correct information in I'll be glad to accept it. Or if you want I can edit it.

@AF7: You may edit the text to your liking, no problem. Just that half of your bounty was lost.

Note for the readers: I have no idea what tool the poster used which refused to move a partition because it has an unknown filesystem. Most partition tools don't care much about the filesystem inside the partition.

This statement is FALSE -> "Moving the MSR is not possible". I just did it using GParted Live USB (as @harrymc recommended) and it worked smoothly. Windows 10 is booting just fine after moving all the partitions around and extending the EFI to 512MB.
