I am sure you mean well and congratulations on your success, but most MCH users can’t really afford the $699 price tag on the Windows based recovery software which you linked in your YT (and several others have also mentioned in these forums) and most MCH users do not have the time or ability to do the recovery.

I would suggests that any user attempting to do their own (if they are able) that they stick with a Linux based free recovery ISO such as the Rescuezilla ISO, completely free although donation is accepted. Almost all Windows PCs and laptops will boot Linux ISOs. The users can attempt recover with two choices:

  1. Use Rescuezilla to clone to a same or larger hard drive if the old drive is still clonable.
  2. if not 1 then attempt to recover with the free Springfield recovery Python script.
