Create instance from restored boot volume

hsmptgOct 23 2022

Hi
I would like to be able to restore an instance to the same state it was when I did a boot volume backup on it.
I know that first I need to restore that boot volume backup into a "boot volume", and from it do a "create instance".
The problem is that even if I terminate the original instance, I can not have the same instance back since the "private IP" is now different (something that is important for the correct behaviour of my instance).
All this because, from what I understood, is not possible simply changing the boot volume from an existing instance (even when it is stopped), right? The only thing that I can do is to create a NEW instance from that new boot volume.
Why can't we simply detach a boot volume from an instance and attach a different one?
Regards and thanks for your precious help.
