Yes, you can create a Windows install drive from an existing hard drive by partitioning it. This allows the installation media to use the same partitions as your old laptop.

It could function if your bootloader allows partition selection; otherwise, it seems you're unlikely to be lucky with partitions.

For your laptop with a DVD reader or burner, I recommend burning a DVD using Windows 10. This will allow you to install the operating system directly onto the drive without needing to partition it.

It includes a DVD drive, but I don’t have a disc to burn. Instead, I’ll create a Windows 10 installation partition and use the remaining space for the installed OS.

This works, though I don’t have enough RAM to run Windows 10 on it.
