OR to attempt to recover data from the old drive, you can use a USB and boot into a Linux Live instance, install apfs-fuse to mount the partition if it is not encrypted. Here's a tutorial to boot into Ubuntu Live. And here is a link to the github repository for apfs-fuse.

Spilled water on my Mac what to do to save my files?
Assuming you're running High Sierra or later, though, reading the drive on anything other than macOS is gonna take a bit of know-how, because it'll be APFS-formatted, and there just isn't much support for APFS on other platforms currently. You'll need to run Linux and compile apfs-fuse in order to mount the drive.

Broken Mac Screen | Trying to recover data
If the SSD is soldered to the logic board you might be screwed since you can't boot into Target Mode. However, for what it's worth, I yanked the SSD out of an older MBP that tanked and successfully mounted it as read-only on my Linux machine via apfs-fuse. This despite the fact that my wife's 2019 MBA with Big Sur couldn't mount or fix it.

macOS 13 Ventura: The Ars Technica review
They nerfed multiple desktops, back in the OSX days you would see a preview of the desktops any time you opened mission control. I use forceFull to get the functionality back but it means I can't run iOS apps from the App Store which sucks.

Ask HN: How on earth are you using your Apple computer with external displays?
They should transfer over to your main display (at least that's what happens for me).
This utility might help you see what's going on: https://github.com/Jaysce/Spaceman.
And while we're on Spaces, this utility forces mission control to show full thumbnails of all spaces by default: https://github.com/briankendall/forceFullDesktopBar
