MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.6
Which specific MacBook Pro is broken?
For some MacBook Pros, it might be possible to pull out the internal 2.5" notebook drive or SSD "stick", put it into an enclosure, and attach it as a drive to another Mac. For others (especially recent ones with T2 security chips or Apple Silicon processors), that will not be possible.
To get the exact model of the broken laptop, you can enter the system serial number on the check coverage page (please do not post the serial number on this forum since it is considered personal information):
Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support
You can try connecting an external display.
However, you may need to try putting the laptop into Clamshell mode by connecting a wired USB keyboard & mouse, plus connecting the power adapter & external display to attempt to use the laptop with just the external display. This is not always easy to do....sometimes it can be impossible depending on the model & whether macOS is running an update "questionnaire". You may need to toggle screen mirroring by pressing Command + Brightness Down (not always possible on the Login screen).
Perhaps you can use Target Disk Mode.
Make sure you have frequent & regular backups of your new Mac since there are a lot more new ways to permanently lose access to the data on the internal SSD due to all the hardware, software, and security changes.
Also - do you have any backups of the broken MacBook Pro? How current are those backups?
Backups are something you make before catastrophe strikes, so that when it does, you don't have all of the copies of your data in one fragile basket.
