Hey there, Ganeswara!

Unfortunately, there's no way you can transfer the OS just by moving the drive.
The OS communicates with the motherboard on the computer, not the storage.
A different computer would need a new installation.
However, I think you can simply download a legit ISO from the link, burn it to a media device and install:

You should be able to activate it with your current product key.
If any issues occur, I'd just call Microsoft's support and explain the situation, so that they would assist you!

Hope this helps! :)
