How to transfer old SSD into new laptop?

Hello, my old laptop is shorting the charger and won’t turn on. I'm long overdue for an upgrade anyway, so I’m getting a new one soon. Since the old one can’t turn on, I can’t use any file transfer utilities to transfer the contents of the old one to the new one. So I was thinking I can just take the SSD from the old one and install it in the secondary slot of the new one.

My question is: can this be done as simply as that or are there other considerations at play? For example, the SSD I’ll be transferring was the primary drive of the old laptop and has the OS installed on it. Is there something I need to do so the new laptop sees the old SSD as a storage drive only, and doesn’t try to boot with the OS from the old one? Do I need to do something with the drive lettering so there’s no confusion over which one is the C drive? Will all my installations (like my internet security suite, for example) work normally automatically, or do I need to do something special?

Basically I’m asking how take the old boot drive and install it into the laptop as just a secondary drive into the new one. Also, my old laptop has an HD as a secondary drive. Can I transfer that one also without any fussing around or is there something special I need to do for that one as well?

(In case it matters, my new laptop will be the same as the old -Alienware 17 from Dell, just upgraded.- I am waiting for Windows 11 to be released before purchasing the new one so I don’t have to deal with upgrading from 10 to 11. So I’ll be installing an old SSD with Win10 as a secondary drive on a machine with Win11 running from the primary)

Thanks in advance for any help.
