Can old laptop hard drive appear as 2nd drive on new lapop?

My old WinXP (Toshiba) laptop, which I really like better than the new Win7 Dell, has a few poblems. It's 9 years old, and I think the screen has gone out. The computer works on an extenal vga monitor...

Everything said is valid
And last night I was playing "Space Cadet" pinball,

The best pc pinball game ever, on my Win8 laptop
But it will not, save scores, (oh it goes thru the motions),
And I have to run the space cadet.exe file that is in the folder on my desk top

Accessing data is NOT hard, but often the programs that created those files will not run, because of the many registry entries
What you Can do with the drive from the old laptop
Will depend on what those programs are, that you are interested in
