No, unless you have a restore CD copy.

There are at least a couple of options.

One of them is to physically remove the HDD from one pc (old) to the other (new). In order to do this you must first update the HDD driver from the motherboard where the HDD will be installed and install a generic HDD driver. Then switch off (do not restart) the pc. This will save you from gettting a blue screen if you install another HDD in a pc that has worked with a different one.

Once you've done that, the rest is not too difficult.

Replace your HDD and when you power it up you have your OS transferred onto the other pc. Remember to update all the drivers for the components in the new PC accordingly.

The second option is to make an exact image of your HDD onto another HDD and use the latter in the same way as described above. You can use quite a few programs to help you do that and I have personally used Macrium Reflect and it works wonders.
