Just so you don't have a heart attack if you need to try that ... because
the disk is a "dynamic disk", if it is placed in another system,
the disk will appear as "foreign" and appears to be not
accessible.

However, a right-click in Disk Management allows you to import the disk to
make it part of the current system, and then you can access all its
contents (might have to also allocate a drive letter). Of course, if there
are any encrypted files, you need to have previously exported the
appropriate certificate with private key.
