Can I just do a subsitute W-2 Form from my previous job if i lost the W-2 that was sent to me or do i have to find a way to get a new one

I used to work at 7 eleven but quit around november 2023. I know I was sent a w-2 but I threw it away accidentally when I was getting rid of some old papers (probably just got mixed in and I didnt notice). Do i have to talk to my previous employer to get a new one or can i just fill out the subsitute w-2 turbo tax provides. it states at the end of the sub asking if I tried everything to get a new one so I didnt want say yes because I didnt.
