Compressing files should not affect the "quality" of the file; however, it will decrease the computer's performance ( speed ) when opening ( uncompressing ) them.
Alternatively, you will save drive space by compressing the files, so it depends on whether space or performance is more important to you.

When you compress your files, you do not lose quality. It just means that the files must be UNcompressed when you want to access them. I'd recommend compressing ONLY your data files like photos, music, videos, etc...
And only ones that you don't use much anymore (archives)

i suggest doing it for folders and files which you do not frequently use. Do not compress Windows or System folders. That way the OS will have to spend extra time decompressing the file before putting it to use.
