Yes, you can install a hard drive from another PC running Windows onto your system to retrieve its data.

The main goal is checking if you can link a Windows PC with an external drive and recover data from it. It’s unclear exactly how to proceed, but copying everything to another drive works just fine for a standard setup. Let me know if you need more details. Thanks! Anton
You select the desired hard drive and set it up on a functional system or a docking station
I should indicate by "working machine" that you attach the specified drive to the machine. You don't change its original drive; just connect it as an additional one.
Avoid starting from the other machine's storage. You may need to adjust access settings if that device has a password.
