extracting data/files from an old macbook pro e...

Hello!

I have an old macbook pro which recently gave up on me after 8 or so years - the battery is unable to charge, and the board has gone so it can't be fixed.

Is there a way for me to remove the old hard drive and transfer the files/data to my new macbook pro? I'm on a bit of a budget, and I'm not necessarily looking to use it as an external hard drive just yet - I'm just wondering what cables/kit I need to perform a one-off transfer.
