Can you just install your hard drive in your new machine?

I installed it but it can't read the OS. in Short I can't use windows. I have old laptop which I can open I tried it there but it can't read the OS

What kind of software key is it? Some time ago I succesfully extracted keys from Microsoft products by NirSoft ProduKey - I see it has a command line option to point the program for different Windows installation. So:
  • install both old drive and new drive to new computer;
  • install new Windows on new drive;
  • boot new Windows and install ProduKey;
  • use ProduKey on old Windows directory.
