    If they are running the same chipsets yes, otherwise no, it will BSOD and you will have to run a repair on windows to make it work while retaining your current data.

    We need more information on models as well as what you mean by "expect everything to work"

    The short answer: not easily.

    The short answer would be no since they use different connectors.
