how to restore channel.backup from a laptop to hard drive?

Hi everyone,
I am sorry because I feel the answer is somewhere but I can't find it. Does somebody can explain me how to restore the file from my window laptop?
thanks in advance.

Not sure what you mean with "restore the file from my window laptop". I guess you have that channel.backup and you have your seed words - with both you can setup a new raspiblitz (use the SSH menus) and you can try to recover your funds.

If you are no longer interested to use a raspiblitz or you had hardware problems you can also try to recover your LND wallet thru the ZAP Windows Desktop app: https://github.com/LN-Zap/zap-desktop/releases

Thanks for answering me. I had a ssd crash last year. I settled up a new configuration with my seeds, raspiblitz image etc. But my PC had converted my channel backup file into a BAK file. I am unable to make it recover. I should install a new raspiblitz image with a proper channel.backup file IMO. But first How should I convert my file? Thanks for your concern . Greetings.

Try to ranme the file to: channel.backup - you may have to google how to change file extensions under Windows.
