Yes, you can. You will have to use a hard drive enclosure though.

You can not just swap a hard drive an expect your computer to boot up.
When Windows install is gets configured for the computer.
The configuration will not work on any other computer.
By using the enclosure you can view and recover all of your file.
Happy Computing!

You can also use a hard drive docking station which supports 2.5" and 3.5" drives and has both USB and eSATA connectivity. I find these a bit more useful for bench work as you can swap drives easily: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817121043
