HELP WITH VHDX IMAGE

[jillllll]

Greetings,

I have recently run into a problem and would request help fixing it.

I have an Dell Inspiron laptop on which I wanted to install an Solid State Drive to make it faster, I installed an 128GB SSD and used a Hard Drive Caddy to install my existing 1TB Hard Drive as well.

For back up of my data I made a windows image from the Windows 10 settings.

I have installed Windows on my SSD and want to recover the above mentioned data. For this purpose I made a bootable USB drive and went ahead and clicked on Repair My Computer when prompted, on the recovery screen I selected the WIndows Image Recovery option. My image shows there but it shows some error. 

The windows image is in the .vhdx format.

I wish to recover 2 folder inside the windows users namely pictures and 3d objects.

Not really sure how to proceed.

Need your help.

Thanking you.

You can mount VHDX files on Windows:

So you reinstalled windows and you only want those folders?

Then in your new windows install right click the vhdx file to mount it as a drive and copy the data over.

I cant seem to open up the WindowsImageBackup on the same laptop.

I actually copied the files (Windows10Upgrade and WindowsImageBackup) to another laptop(say laptopB) running windows 7 and cant actually find the mount option on LaptopB.

And on my original laptop(say laptopA) i cant open the WindowsImageBackup folder.

Try disk management (file > attach vhd)

Thank you for replying,

I did that but at first it shows that the media is write protected.

Then I checked the read-only box, and was able to attach the file but i cannot see any option to open it in the disk management window neither in My Pc as a separate drive
