WD Passport Restore

Hello! I have a new computer that runs Windows 11. My old computer ran Windows 7. I have a full backup on my Passport of my old system but the new computer does not recognize it as a RESTORE. I can use the file manager to find all the files but they all have odd extensions. When I copy them (which I did 54K of them) you can’t open them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
