Best Answer

Yes, you can. Use a program such as Acronis True Image to do this.

--- BUT ----> You should be advised that if the two computers aren't somewhat similar, you will have issues, such as BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH.

Remember that your current HD has all the drivers necessary for the system board you currently have and the devices that are connected to it. It WILL NOT have all of the drivers necessary for the computer you're putting the HD in and the differences between what's needed and what's installed can cause your system to spazz out. Not pretty.

In some cases Windows 7 will correct the drivers if it can find them but it's not a guarantee.

Great example: a HD that is installed on an AMD system can crash on boot if put into an Intel system.
