Can you swap a Linux Mint installation from a laptop to Raspberry Pi 5?

I am new to using Linux after deciding to go all in and wipe my laptop drive and clean install Linux Mint on my old laptop which is not supported by Windows 11.

The laptop has now given up the ghost, and I am starting to prefer Linux Mint to Microsoft Windows. So, I decided to go for a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB RAM and an NVMe hat.

I am under the impression that I don’t need to install from scratch like I would need to with Microsoft Windows. So, can I just connect the laptop SATA drive to a USB connector via an adapter and use that to boot into my old Linux Mint setup, or will I need to clone the SATA drive contents to an SD card or NVMe drive?
