Depends on what is on it.If a secondary drive, with 'just data' on it, no problem.
If it is the boot drive with Windows on it, problem.
1. It probably will not boot unless it is two identical laptops.
2. Licensing issues, esp if an OEM version. Upon seeing the new motherboard, it will become unactivated.
anyway to bypass it?
No, there is no magic 'bypass' button.
