Restore system with VHDX file
Hi,
My hard disk (512 GB) died recently. I had to replace it with a new one (500 GB). I did a backup some months ago through the Windows utility tool (Windows 7 backup and restore). From this backup, I caught a VHDX file (215 GB). I tried to restore my backup with the Restore image tool of Windows, but couldn't proceed the restauration. I caught the error 0x80042412 mid-process. I don't know much about computer, but from what I read online it's possibly because my new disk is smaller than the original.
I read online that Acronis True Image could help me so I downloaded the 2020 version. All the tutorials/posts I see are with older versions of Acronis or not explained step by step. I need someone to explain me with baby steps how to:
Possibility 1) Convert VHD file to TIB and then restore with Acronis.
Possibility 2) Mount VHD file then backup with Acronis to create a TIB.
Possibility 3) Backup the VHD file (I don't know if it backups only the file or it takes in consideration that it's a whole system)
Possibility 4) Use the cloning tool
Possibility 5) Anything else that would work. It's been 5 days since I'm looking how to restore my system without results.
I'm not good with computer and previously followed catastrophic procedures not knowing what I was doing. It's been a nightmare so any help is very appreciated.
Thank you,
M

Meili,
You could convert the VHDX file inot a Windows WIM file and then Apply that WIM image to a new disk. You will need a running PC to do this and use Windows PowerShell. In the link below follow the instructions in the Answer with the green check mark.
Good Luck:
