How to transfer hard drive to new toshiba laptop

[odenperry]

I received the intact hard drive from my old Toshiba laptop (laptop was salvaged and I received a new laptop) How do I transfer the data and programs to my new Toshiba laptop?

Do I need a computer wizard to perform this?

Thank you.

you can use something like this to transfer data, but will have to reinstall programs.
