Probably not easily, no.

Assuming a "PC hard drive" is a 3.5" drive, then it's not physically compatible. There's probably SATA power/sata extensions to connect to a laptop... but I can't imagine they'd make much sense.

You could use the drive, connected via USB with powered adapters - but that isn't (shouldn't) support booting from it -- At least not Windows.

A used 2.5" drive shouldn't cost you very much at all though -- especially relative to the cost of an adapter to make things "work" currently.
