Moving both RAID 1 HDDs from one PC to another

[vadiro]

Hi,
I have an old HP N40L Microserver running Windows Server Essentials which I would like to replace with a new PC made of the parts I have around; and I wonder if moving the both RAID 1 HDDs to the new one would be a straight forward job, or I could have some issues?
The OS is running from a different drive, an SSD.

Unless you can also move the actual RAID controller, this is unlikely to work.

Since this is just secondary data, just move that data to elsewhere, build the new system, along with rebuilding the RAID 1 in this new system.
Then copy the data back over.

Personally I'd create a storage space on the new machine, they are portable and expandable.
