New iMAC // OLD Windows backup need to access to restore files to iMAC
I have an external SSD attached to my USB port on my new iMAC. On the SSD I have a backup from my OLD Windows Dell PC that is now gone. I want to access the AOMEI backup on the external SSD and open the backup files to copy some photos and files to my new iMAC.
I thought I could setup a Windows bootable partition on the SSD, download AOMEI software run the program access the files i need and restore them to my new iMAC?
Owen from AOMEI Support says it is not possible!
Is Owen correct?

But, if you use other tool to create the backup, our software can't open it.
My thoughts on this is to create a bootable SSD drive with my new 1TB T5 SSD, partition it so I have around 500Gb to load Windows 11 and AOMEI Pro which I have the license for on that drive. Would this work to be able to access the AOMEI backup file on the other 2TB T5 drive attached to my iMAC? Then open the file and restore the photos and other software? Or is there another program to bridge the software between the iMAC environment and the Windows environment? Am I missing something in the AOMEI Backup/Restore features I can utilize?
"My thoughts on this is to create a bootable SSD drive with my new 1TB T5 SSD"---What bootable system did you create? Sorry that we don't quite understand.
In addition, you might be unable to restore applications to a new system to run. Generally, applications need to be run based on the original system.
You can restore photo files.
