Please excuse the off topic question. Does anyone have any experience
using this tool with MS Windows 11?

Drive going bad?   
Step one. turn off the computer it’s in and get it the hell out
Step two.  Put it in a Linux box, but don’t mount it!
Step three.  dd it to a file which you will loopback mount.  That is what you recover.

Actually. If it’s really scary.  Not dd. Use ddrescue. This will save what can be saved. Then you use data rebuild tools on that loopback to try to rebuild what can be rebuilt
