This drive has the OS on it?
And you’re hoping it will simply boot up in the all new hardware?
Unlikely.
There are 3 possibilities:
It boots up just fineIt fails completelyIt eventually boots up, but you’re chasing issues for weeks/months.I’ve seen all 3. Depending on the overall difference between old parts and new parts…the likelihood of #1 changes.
All new hardware, a clean OS install is strongly recommended, often required.
