VHD is a file which contains a virtual image of a hard drive , used by Microsoft Windows Virtual PC. Single VHD file may contain all data stored on a physical hard drive, saved exactly in the same structure – partitions, system files, regular files and folders.
VHDX file format is a virtual disk image file, new version of the VHD format. It is a format supported by Windows 8 and Windows Server 8 operating systems.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the VHD file after converting to VHDX may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from VHD to VHDX to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting VHD to VHDX does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in VHD format, properly converted to a VHDX file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file VHD the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of VHD file to other than VHDX. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your VHD file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to VHDX on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the VHD file in its original format (without conversion to VHDX file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
