yep testdisk/photorec is my goto as well for files/photo recovery etc This pc would be quite a bit of work to reinstall/rebuild so I was quite pleased to get a full image/clone up and running...
I've been surprised at the few SSDs that i've had fail have to some extent been recoverable - HDsentinel shows this one with 39 bad sectors, and yet it still booted up, avg response times were 100-10000ms, so real slow, lots of not respondings, and chkdsk had multiple issues each time, behaves very much like a bad HDD in some respects
I also ran a sfc /scannow on the clone which found a few issues and repaired, also ran a dism for good measure...

This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.
