Windows File History Recovery

So I backed up my last computer that was on Windows 11 using Windows File History and have all the data on an external HDD. I did not realize that this software was not meant for transferring files and now feel that my data is useless, as when I went to restore the files on a spare Windows 10 PC, File History won't let me restore. I've followed some online guides on how to restore to a different PC, and File History will see that there is a drive with File History data, but when it comes time to restore it says it doesn't see any files.

At this point I'm just panicked that the files aren't recoverable. I tried the simple solution of a batch rename, but it looks like the File History database is required to properly recover the files. Are there any alternative methods for recovering just the latest copies of the File History data? I tried looking for a linux utility or something but I'm not seeing any alternative software for it, as I'm convinced that Windows File History just won't work when recovering onto a different PC.
