I had PuTTY on crashed computer and it had many of items in sessions.
I have access to the system drive of crashed computer.
How to reach PuTTY's registry branch and copy it to new active computer?

You can use some registry reading tool. Like MiTec Windows Registry Recovery.
See my guide to recovering settings of WinSCP. With PuTTY, it's identical, except for the registry key path, of course:
C:\Users\username\ntuser.dat
(or C:\Documents and Settings\username\ntuser.dat
in Windows XP and older). Note that the file is usually hidden.Software/SimonTatham/PuTTY/Sessions
.HKEY_CURRENT_USER
and check both Only selected key and Cut off root key name.100% comprehensive, thanks for tool too! – Dims – 2016-12-11T12:45:31.050

Here is a simple tutorial on how to extract your Putty configuration from an old Windows/Crashed Windows without any extra software. This was very helpful to me and I just want to share the same stes here in case the below one goes down.

Pre-requisites:
• your registry file must still be accessible (located in user profiles)
Steps on restoring putty configurations:
1Good idea. Though I find importing the old hive to HKLM
unnecessarily risky. Why don't you load it to HKCU
