From the menu item 'Tools > PLC Backup Tool'. You won't be able to directly select the (.CXB) file. Choose the directory in which it exists.

I don't know how it will behave with the wrong type PLC. Is the original PLC available to at least Restore?

1) Start a new project. I don't think it matters what PLC type.

2) Disconnect communications from the PLC. We'll start this off line.

3) Start the backup tool.  'Tools > PLC Backup Tool'

4) Click 'Restore to PLC...'

5) At the Confirm Connection dialog box, choose 'Cancel'.

6) Select the Folder where your (.CXB) file is located.

7) Select the PLC in the list then click 'Start a tool...'.

8) At the Confirm Tool Startup, click 'OK', then click OK again to start CX Programmer.

9) You'll get a warning 'The tool is already started........'. Click 'OK'.

This will open your backup file in CX Programmer. From here you'll have to change the PLC type and resolve any errors that you may encounter. I'm not sure if there is a more concise method. I just learned how to do this.
