Recover files from overheated laptop. The hard drive is ok.

[DLuisaM]

Hi, I really want to be able to remove my old hard drive from my overheated laptop, connect it via a cable to my new one and transfer all the files. I am hoping it will be as simple as connecting via a cable? If so which one will I need?
Thanks

I have one of these. Incredibly useful for just this situation.
