You can definitely use a virtual machine to run the Windows 7 image. First, create a VM with Windows 7, then install Windows 8.1 Pro inside it. After setting up, you’ll have access to the files from the previous version.

You should be able to transfer the image onto a USB drive. Just install Windows 7 on the virtual machine and use it to view the image from the USB.

Absolutely understood! It makes sense now that it's a system image rather than just an operating system. Thanks for clarifying—it’ll help me figure out how to test it.

If it does, you're essentially the sleep-restricted individual who often lacks clarity on topics and has relied solely on a VM for five minutes. Answer my question for me.
