Is it possible to run a 1Gb network cable between two laptops?

Hello.
My task is simple. Run a gigabit network cable between two laptops.
100 Mbps is not enough, since one of the laptops is a kind of storage that stores large amounts of data. And you have to wait a relatively long time until copying occurs.
The question is. Gigabit cable is connected in the same way as regular 100 Mbps cable? Without any additional drivers? Or it also depends on the type of network card.
Two laptops are not ancient on Win 7.
If necessary, I can give the exact characteristics of laptops

If both cards are gigabit, then everything will be ok, well, crimp EIA / TIA-568A.

so what's the problem then?
we take a cable not lower than cat5, if the network ones are able to auto-negotiate, then the crimping can be direct, if not, then you will have to cross crimp the cable, well, on the interfaces we give addresses from the same subnet, the computers must be part of the same workgroup
, you can still raise it on the receiving note ftp server (nothing faster than the ftp protocol has yet been invented) or perform a sync between notes to copy only the changed
ps .
it is clear that you know better there
