Hi Jennifer, what sort of casing and connections does the old Hard drive have? There were older casings with only FireWire interface, with a newer laptop you will need a USB capable casing. If your samsung drive has a USB connection possibility it can indeed just be plugged in. If not, you could get your technician to put it into a newer casing. Cheers, Susan
