How to open an old hard drive safely in a new laptop?
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body

I have two very old laptops from when I was younger. In consequence, the hard drives contain a lot of stuff from my teen years that I wish to recover.

The issue comes with the fact that since I was younger, I was very security illiterate and these laptops were full of malware.

How can I open these hard drives safely to retrieve pictures and videos without infecting my new computer?

(Extra information: the old laptops are broken, so using the cloud is not an option)
