I have windows 7 ultimate on my ssd and that is my main drive with os from day 1. Now I have another hdd with windows 7 professional, I'll be putting this on my desktop. Will I be able to use Windows 7 Professional os system if I put that as main priority on boot?

Seeing every file is completely different than booting up from that drive.


This drive with Win 7 Pro came from another machine?
Good possibility it will simply fail to boot up in this new hardware.
 


The laptop drive with Win 7 Pro actually boots up in the desktop?
If so, then making it the boot priority would probably work.
