Windows 10: Issue re-configuring Hyper-V VM after restoring PC

So I had a situation where I had to wipe my PC. Files were backed up but when I replaced the HyperV files, one of my VMs is unable to open.I receive the following error: 'MyVM' failed to start. Synthetic SCSI Controller Instance ID ... Failed to Power on with Error "The chain of virtual hard disks is inaccessible. There was an error opening a virtual had disk further up the chain'.

Unassign Hyper V VM with deleted User account

Hyper V is a server feature that allows you to create VMs but they are not assigned to users.

Can you post a screenshot of what you are referring to?

Move Hyper-V VM Without Reactivating?

According to this (How do I avoid needing to activate Windows when I move a VM? [Hyper-V]) link it is possible to move a Hyper V VM to a new host without having to reactivate the guest OS by exporting
it and importing it. Are there any additional steps I should know about or is it as simple as find the export and then import (on the new host) options/buttons?
