Thinkpad X2, 16gb Ram, 500GB drive Recently I switched above HD with a 1tb ssd and installed windows 11 pro. I still want to boot up Win7.

Can the Media Creation Tool be used to boot a PC and restore a recently created drive image (22H2) for Windows 10, i.e. without restoring or installing a clean new installation? Essentially can it do what the Repair Disk used to do?
