Not generally a good idea, and yes, there might be issues.
Then again, it might work just fine.

There is no "100% it always works".

Should I try and if it works fine should I leave it like that?
And if not then reinstalling?
Also will there be any slowdowns in ssd?

You should be fully prepared for a complete wipe and reinstall.
Then, try it. If it works, great. Don't claim success until you've verified there are NO issues. It may boot up, and you find weirdness happening later.
If it fails, you're prepared.
Slowdowns? Maybe. We've seen it here before.

Can I just use account where windows is activated?

You can try to put old SSD into new system. Most likely all will be fine except you must uninstall unnecessary drivers from old hardware at first and install drivers for new hardware. But it is possible that nothing will work and clean reinstall is required.

Can I just use account where windows is activated?

It depends. If Windows on previous system was OEM type then it is registered to motherboard and you must purchase a new license. Otherwise see that Microsoft link about hardware change.
