If you use 32-bit, I highly doubt it. The problem is Calibre runs out of RAM (I think 32-bit Windows limits RAM usage on a single program to 2GB). I've actually tried with copying the books separately (via Save to Disk) and generating metadata.calibre via "Update cached metadata on device" and updating cache with 5K books
always crashes after a while.
I have no problems copying a smaller number of books via Connect to Folder and haven't really tested where the upper limit might be on 32-bit. I expect there wouldn't be any issues with 64-bit Windows and 64-bit Calibre either.
