No.
That is no different than what you have now.

You need to do a full OS wipe and install, in the new system.
Of course it doesn't work.

You have an installation of Windows that includes drivers for hardware it can no longer find and it is seeing hardware for which it has no drivers.

You can not move an OS from one machine to another when hardware is different. You have to reinstall the OS on new hardware....assuming license allows you to do so.
