Is it possible to boot from a laptop drive in a desktop?

I was wondering if there was a way that I could use my old laptop HDD with Vista instead of having to go out and either pirate Windows 7 or spend $100, since I am a student I have a tight budget and just wanted to ask for some help before I went out and might have ended up wasting my money on something that I didn't need to buy.

The harddrive will work. The OS won't. The drivers will be wrong and I am sure its an OEM version and locked to the laptop, so wont activate.

If you are a student check with the school, mine always had a deal with Microsoft where you could buy Windows for 10 bucks from the university.
