Can I get information off my hard drive without installing it in a new computer?

So took my dead macbook pro to the apple store, where I was told it would cost $800 to replace my logic board. So that’s not happening, and I bought a used laptop to get me through the next year of grad school.

But, the hard drive should be okay, so I’d like to know if I can get stuff off of it without having to rip the had drive out of the new to me computer, which I really don’t want to do.

Hard drive has some school stuff that would be annoying but not a big deal to lose, however; it has some personal documents I’d love to save if possible.
