With alot of experience in this I will say the answer is maybe, and a few things can up your chances.

The key point is you are likely to be changing motherboards, and all the Windows configuration resources are store on your hard drive - and alot of them describe your current setting. Suddenly put a new set of resources there when you boot a different hard drive into a different PC and the operating system will see alot has changed.

The key questions are:

1) Has too much changed? Is this a toxic level of change - about a 1/3 chance from my experience

2) So where do I find the drivers for all this new hardware, and how many times must I install, and re-boot bfore all is normalised (normally about 3 times)?

So to increase your chances of success - have all the drivers for your new set-up, starting with the motherboard / chipset drivers, then network cards (to give you internet connectivity), then video drivers, then soundcards etc, either at hand or already installed on your hard drive - ready for use!
