If you’re using a Windows PC and have an iPhone backup you want to extract data from, here’s what you can do:

1. Connect your iPhone: Plug your iPhone into your Windows computer using a USB cable. 2. Trust This Computer: If a message pops up on your iPhone asking if you trust this computer, tap Trust. 3. Open iTunes: Launch iTunes on your Windows computer. If you don’t have iTunes, you can download and install it from the Microsoft Store. 4. Select Your Device: In iTunes, click the device icon that appears in the upper left corner of the window. 5. Choose Restore Backup: Under the Backups section, select the one you want to extract data from and click Restore Backup. 6. Wait for the Process: iTunes will start restoring your backup. Once it’s done, your data should be on your iPhone.

Remember that restoring a backup will replace the current data on your iPhone with the data from the backup. So, be cautious if you have any new data you don’t want to lose. Besides, there is an alternative way (using FoneTool - a free and safe iPhone backup tool) to back up and extract your iPhone backup with one click.
