So basically my problem is that I have a new laptop now (which works), but the previous laptop, which has a broken screen, has a bunch of music and stuff still on it.. But there's no way to navigate the computer.
What I wanna do is take all of the data off the old laptop and put it on the new one.

My question is, what is the easiest way of retrieving this data? Do I need a cable or any other type of hardware / device? Or can I literally pull the hard drive out of one laptop, and put it into the other? (I don't know much about laptop hardware).

Let me know what you think would be the easiest way to transfer.

You can take the drive out of the old laptop, and put it in an external USB enclosure like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817193060
