Windows does not like to move from one PC to another - all the drivers are probably different, AND if it's from an OEM PC (Dell, HP, etc, it's tied to the original motherboard & will not work.

Yes, very often that does not work.
And format/reinstall is always an option.

Save your personal, critical data elsewhere.
Install the drive in the new PC
Reinstall Windows, using your existing activation key. Assuming that it isn't an OEM key...in which case there will be additional hoops to jump through. Or more $$ for a new license.
