Hi there,
I have a windows 10 system image backup of my old computer AI took before it crashed. It is in VHD format. I wanted to restore this recovery image so that the pc is the way it was before I did a fresh install.(I have many reasons for this.)
I went down the internet rabbit hole and essentially was guided to create a VM in which I was going to restore said image (Roughly 250gb.)
I downloaded vmware workstation and from what I can tell I ran into 2 issues. (1) It needs me to install windows 10 on it. (2) it wont accept a vhd file as an image. Seemed to strictly want an iso.
I went into the vmware site and got a trial for horizon. There was a document on the vmware site that essentially said I can load a vhd file using horizon.
This vhd file is on an external drive.
So... perhaps to simplify.
HOW DO I LOAD A VHD OF A WINDOWS 10 FULL SYSTEM BACKUP THAT IS 250GB IN SIZE INTO A VM?
Thank you in advance and I really apologize if this isnt the right place for this question.
