    You can apply it using wbadmin command from booted winpe. Once applied, you have to set the correct os letter before attempting to boot into it. That is also better done from winpe. I have made a tool to do that. Use the fix OS drive letter section.

    If wbadmin can't find the vhdx, you could mount it with disk mgmt, make an image of the mounted disk ( using aomei backupper, macrium, paragon, etc - they all have fee versions). Then apply the image you just created.

    That is probably easiest.

    I tried to locate my system volume but it wasn't listed. This might be because my hard drive is going bad

    So at this point I'll probably reinstall Windows to another drive.

    Is there a way to take my Windows 10 VHDX file and apply it to another drive so that drive will boot?

    Note: The VHDX I'm referring to was created using Disk2VHD. Is that all I needed to do to create a bootable VHDX, or were there more steps involved? This is my first time trying this so please forgive my ignorance

    Ok, I'll do that after I backup my C drive (as I'm now receiving warnings that the drive is failing).

    That is as I feared - the system files are not in a separate partition, as is normal these days. This is a pretty old style setup.

    I am not sure how you do this here. I think you may be able to simply use c: rather than s: in the bcdboot command.

    OK thanks, I'll give that a try. And would the last switch on mine be /UEFI or /BIOS?
