Booting to old HDD

Have you tried plugging the laptop HDD into your desktop motherboard?

Get a sata/usb adapter and connect it to your laptop

Then boot into it

You deserve it for buying a piece of shit gaymur laptop, and for using windows which shits itself if you try to boot it off a computer different from the one which it was first installed.

yeah i tried this

no

the hard drive can be accessed, but will not boot correctly

different hardware, and im sure its OEM windows so it will be locked

your best bet is to try and repair your laptop, OR, retrieve whatever files you need, and push forward on a different system

Boot into GNU/Linux and try mounting a partition from the HDD

I have no idea how to do that, is it possible to do it from windows 10?

Yes

how do i get my new desktop to boot from a certain partition on my old hdd?

I think you just need to recover your files as best you can at this point anon, why do you need to boot w10 from that hard drive anyway.
Also, what do you mean someone sabotaged that briefcase looking fucker in the pic, do tell.

woke up one morning to the thing doused in water..... literally still frying its own internals..

...you're not much on a raconteur are you anon?

Just do update-grub in a linux terminal on the hard drive you were originally booting from before you added the old hdd. It should automatically detect the windows partition on the old one and mount it for you.
If that doesn't work try:
menuentry "Windows 10" {
set root=(hd0,3)
chainloader +1
}
