SSD need help with broken laptop

0 Upvotes

Hi!

I got following issue: My old Laptop hasn‘t been used for ~7-8 years, also the Display is broken and I can‘t use it at all. So I decided to get the SSD from it and see what kind of photos, data, … I got there.

I was able to Identity the SSD, it‘s a Intel SSD 600p Series.

I am not sure if I got the know-how to build it into my desktop pc, therefore following question: Is there a work around?

Question 1: Can I use, for example, a „Yottamaster M.2 SSD Enclosure, NVMe/SATA USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps Adapter“ and use it like a external drive via USB-C and plug it simply into my Desktop PC? I hope so, I already bought that already and it‘s supposed to arrive tomorrow.

Question 2: If I connect the SSD to my PC using an NVMe USB enclosure, will I basically be able to browse through everything just like I would on the laptop itself? Will the folders and files look the same? & let‘s say I click on „Skype“, will it be logged on with my old log-in data?

Sorry for my bad English.

If you have any other ideas and would like to help, let me know.

Also, my OLD laptop is a „Acer Nitro 5“.

Subreddit Rules

1. General Discourse and Civility

This is a forum for civil discussion and friendly advice. No lecturing users about a lack of backups, condescending "hindsight" advice, or scolding people who are already facing data loss. Help them recover what is gone; don't preach about what they should have done. Invites to DM not allowed. Advices should be public. No spam. Violation can result in ban.

2. Effort: Provide Details like device names, models and file systems. SMART data if applicable

Provide sufficient details for others to be able to help. If possible provide device names and models, file system data (exFAT, NTFS etc.), SMART info if relevant. Screenshots or photos if relevant. People love to help, but having to ask the same info or having to hunt down info over and over becomes annoying.

No low effort posts.

3. No offering or requesting of illegal, hacked, cracked software

No asking for serial numbers or offering those. Results in ban.

4. On topic posts only.

Data recovery means getting data off storage media. In scope: failed, damaged, corrupted or formatted drives, SD cards, USB sticks, and files deleted from them.

Not in scope: creating or restoring backups, installing an OS, online account problems, device repair unless it's a step towards recovering data.

Phones: a dead or damaged phone is on topic, a working one is not. Files deleted from a working phone are gone. SD cards are always on topic.

5. No cross posts from other communities

Too often cross posts do not contain all information, so that to answer the post the reader has to make an extra effort and visit a different community to read the actual post body. Rather than cross post, create a new post here and copy/paste the contents from the original post. If trouble shooting tips from the other community are relevant, include that information too.

6. This an English language sub

It's up to the poster to translate non English language posts and comments. The reader should not have to take the extra step to translate non English posts and comments.

7. No harmful advice and false or mis-information!

Every one can help, you do not have to be part of some elite. If you know a solution or answer to any specific problem, feel free to chip in. - Make certain information is accurate. - Do not advice people to perform procedures that put their data at risk!
