Does anyone have X220 recovery disks (64-bit Win 7, I think Pro)?

My X220's SSD is failing and I can't find the recovery media anywhere.
I'm sure I made some, just can't find.
My X220 is a Type 4286-CTO, the one with the USB3.0 port. There's a sticker saying "Windows 7" so I know it came with that, and 64-bit, and I'm pretty sure it's the Pro version.
Does anyone have disks or images they can share? Of course I'll reimburse your costs. And I probably have T41p recovery media if anyone needs it.
Thanks!

there are recovery disks for T420(s) on the pirate bay.
I think those should work fine on X220 as well

I can confirm that the T420 recovery discs on bittorrent work on every thinkpad x60/t60 with middleton bios on up. Once in awhile you find a model where you need to add a network driver manually but once you do that lenovo system update handles the rest of the drivers

Thank you. I found the original slow HDD in a box and I'm trying to limp along with that until a replacement SSD arrives.
Having trouble with Windows update, 174 important (or whatever) updates but only about 40 installed. It had trouble downloading again so I'll give it a break.
Several apps updated no problem but lenovo system update says there's nothing for my machine, though it was last run in 2012! The joys of system maintenance.

uninstall and reinstall system update.
I actually do have a set of x220 win 7 pro 64 bit that I made from my x220
if you end up needing these let me know I could put them up on my google drive for you
