I don't think I can boot into windows os from usb
This should work. F12 to choose a one-time boot device just after startup on almost all PCs. Avoids mucking about with BIOS.
can I run a program on a laptop from another HDD from another laptop still with Windows n that on.
Sometimes but this is asking for trouble if e.g. your version of Word overwrites preferences for my version of Word. I would probably not lend you my laptop to do this.

My laptop died.
I removed the harddrive, it works fine.
I've got a 'communicator' which is just a dock you can attach to an HDD and access via usb.
I don't think I can boot into windows os from usb but I'm not sure if I could access and run programs on my housemates lappy from my HDD.
Google says it might work but slow, that's for a normal use external storage. Is it even different?
TLDR; can I run a program on a laptop from another HDD from another laptop still with Windows n that on.
