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.
