Default Recovering things from a dead desktop

Looking to get some of my questions answered since this is the first time I've needed to recover a hard drive among other things from a dead desktop.



When looking for an enclosure, would this hard drive, which came from a desktop that did not have a 3.0USB port, support a 3.0USB enclosure?

Also I took a look at ME since that seems to be the main place to sell any variety of enclosures and I thought the enclosures would be cheaper? So if anybody has a better idea of where I should be looking for these, that would be appreciated.

Also, I'm thinking I have to go through Microsoft for this but I do have a copy of Win8/Microsoft Office 2010 Pro one the hard drive. Would I have to boot from the hard drive through another computer, uninstall Microsoft Office to be able to use the product key again? How about the Win8 upgrade?


Thanks for your time.
