Move hard drive to different hardware and save windows?

I was going to put my hard drive in another computer and i was wondering if there is a way to recover windows under the new hardware without having to reinstall windows all over again. I want to boot the new hard drive that has the windows for the other computer.

I want to boot the new hard drive that has the windows for the other computer. In the past when i had tried this i would get the fatal error, but i was thinking maybe there is a way to cause windows to reconfigure its devices.
 
Thanks!

You are better off to re-install. Even if you get it to work you will probably run into stability problems later on.
