At home, I have an older HP laptop that has a 10tth generation Intel i7 and 16 GB RAM. I am giving it to a neighbor's child free of charge as in gifting it.
I am NOT currently a computer Techiman anymore and haven't been in more than 10 years though I used to be a dammed good one. Before I give it out, I am, of course, going to run the SSD's/NVMEs built-in secure-erase function from a live-boot Linux USB stick and will install a fresh copy of Windows 11, all the drivers, and all the updates, then I am just going to run SysPrep on it, so it goes to him and he can do the Out of Box experience himself.

Anyway, I want to make an image of it in case I miss something that I want later. I have a USB-C Samsung T7 drive, and for my desktops I use Macrium Reflect. That said, can I make an offline image with it? or do I need something else?
I would prefer a solution where I boot media and then can make my image. What is a good software solution I should use? I do not really know what is available.
