The hard drive with my entire system (windows 7) has broken, but I have access to the data. So the question is: if I just copy all the data from the old disk to the new one and start the system from the new disk, will everything work? And if you transfer the windows folder to ssd, and the rest to a new disk and start the system from ssd, will everything also work well?

There is an opinion that during installation, windows determines whether it is installed on ssd or on a classic hdd and changes the settings accordingly.

If you copy via dd or analogues, then it will most likely be possible to start, another point is that not all data can be considered if the disk is dead, which is the difficulty of rearranging the system again on a new drive, and then transferring the data.

With a full copy, it will work, only then it will be necessary for Windows to fix the bootloader through the recovery mode (from the disk with Windows), most likely.
But I do not recommend. Start the system from scratch and drag and drop data. Don't be fooled.
For SSDs, windows disables a few things during installation.
