Afther mounting them who i can restore my backup from them ?
couldn't mount vhdx file
I am trying to restore some backed up Hard Disk Image Files (vhdx) to my new laptop. The files were created on a Windows 10 laptop, and my new laptop runs Windows 11. The vhdx files were backed up to an external hard drive that is NTFS formatted. When I try to mount the vhdx file on my new laptop, I get the following error.
So, I tried to see if anything looks wrong in Disk Management. As shown below, nothing seems wrong to me.
Below are the vhdx files that I'm trying to restore.
How can I resolve this error?

Thanks for your query.
(1) What about open Disk Management and assign a (different) drive letter to the mounted VHDX partition(s)?
(2) Please check the following method:- Press Win+X and choose the Disk Management option.
- Choose the Action tab.
- Select the Attach VHD option.
- Browse to the .vhd or .vhdx file and select it.
- Hit the Open button.
- The .vhd or .vhdx file will be mounted and open in a separated File Explorer window.
- Proceed to restore the backup successfully.
