Hello, I encountered an issue while trying to fix my Dell Inspiron laptop. I installed a 128GB SSD and added my existing 1TB hard drive using a caddy. For data backup, I created a Windows image from the settings. Now I’m on Windows installed on the SSD and need to recover the files, specifically two folders—Pictures and 3D objects. I tried using the Windows Image Recovery option but encountered errors. The image is in .vhdx format. Could you guide me through the next steps? Thank you.

You reinstalled Windows and need just those folders. In the new installation, right-click the VHDX file to mount it as a drive and transfer the files.

I struggle to access the WindowsImageBackup on the same machine. The files (Windows10Upgrade and WindowsImageBackup) were moved to another laptop (laptopB) with Windows 7, but I can't locate the mount option there. On my original laptop (laptopA), I'm unable to open the WindowsImageBackup folder.

You noticed the media appears restricted initially. After reviewing the read-only settings, the file could be attached, but it isn’t visible in the disk management interface on your main PC or as a standalone drive.
