First your apps and data won’t be accessible to your ‘other’ PC. You require a Mac to run the Apps and access the data as macOS is not compatible with Windows or Linux or anything else! The second issue is the file system was upgraded from HFS+ to APFS some where along the line if you are running anything newer from Mojave onward. This also makes it even harder as only Mac’s can access APFS file system (you could get a driver for Windows to read HFS+, but only a limited number of file types like MS Word)

I would encourage you on getting another Mac system making data recovery easier.
