How can I open .vhdx using Windows 7?

I have Windows 7 installed on my computer, and I have a virtual hard disk (.vhdx) file that is created using Windows 8. So, as I know,

Hyper-V is not available in client SKUs for Windows 7, such as Enterprise. It is only available on Windows Server 2008 x64 (some SKUs), Windows Server 2008 R2 (most SKUs), Windows 8 Professional x64, Windows 8 Enterprise x64, and Windows Server 2012 (again, most SKUs). You have just installed management tools that allow you to manage a remote instance of Hyper-V.

It is right? If so, is there a way to open this .Vhdx in any other Windows7 software. Or how can I use it?

I found a blog below in the "How to restore a backup of VHD files" section but am looking for an alternative way? http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/how-to-restore-vhd-file-backup/f3ed3ca5-3079-40cd-a959-835caeba80a7

To answer your question

is there any way to open this .Vhdx in any other windows7 software

You can use IsoBuster to open * .vhdx files and extract files from an image file to your Windows 7 PC. (Download: www.isobuster.com/ )

Hope this helps?
