PowerShell 7 - New-VHD without Hyper-V PowerShell Feature enabled

I'm looking for a way to be able to create a VHD via PowerShell.

It seems that the best approach is to create the VHD with the New-VHD command. Unfortunately, I am unable to load the module to access the New-VHD command.

I have copied the file “C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\Hyper-V\2.0.0.0\Hyper-V.psd1” for this purpose and put it at the path mentioned above. When loading the module, I do not receive an error when I execute this via the following command:

Import-PowerShellDataFile “C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\Hyper-V\2.0.0.0\Hyper-V.psd1”

I can access the command New-VHD via autocomplete after loading, but I get the error when executing:

The command “New-VHD” was found in the module “Hyper-V”, but the module could not be loaded. If you would like more information, run “Import-Module Hyper-V”.

If I now run

Import-Module Hyper-V”

I get the following error:

Import-Module : The module to be processed listed in the module manifest “C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\Hyper-V\Hyper-V.psd1” in the “NestedModules” field 
“Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.Cmdlets.dll” was not processed because no valid module was found in any module directory.
In line:1 Character:1

I tried to manually move the file “Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.Cmdlets.dll” to the Hyper-V modules folder, but this did not solve the problem.

Does anyone have an idea how I can access the Command New-VHD without activating the feature for this? Alternatively, does anyone have an idea how I can best create and mount a VHD via PowerShell?

Thank you in advance.

Used the commands above to manually import the psd1 to be able to access the command New-VHD
