Can I pull the old 1TB Sandisk SSD from my Lenovo Y520 and install it in my new computer?
It will not work if the aim is to preserve what is on the Y520 disk.
You can clone the new computer's hard drive to the Y520 ssd, erasing what was originally on the ssd,
and the ssd will work in place of the drive that came on the new computer..
Any vital data from the Y520 must be saved for transfer before cloning if you do not want to lose it.

I sent you a PM about how I did a similar, backup/installation of a new SSD.

I have a cheap drive dock I use to access drives from retired computers. Do a search for "universal hard drive docking station" they often can be found well under $50.00.
