Hello! Yes, you can boot Windows 7 from your existing laptop and transfer it to the new PC. You can also swap the hard drive with an SSD in your new system. For detailed steps, check reliable guides on hardware installation and file transfer. Good luck with your build!

Laptops come with original manufacturer keys that can't be changed. That means no. Also, exchanging hard drives isn't advised even in Windows.

The Windows key on a laptop is part of its keyboard layout and isn't directly involved in data transfers. It's used for navigation rather than processing information during transfers.

The lock on a laptop isn't designed to be transferred to another computer. It doesn't function properly when moved.

A token is a token. It violates the terms, but Microsoft won’t be aware. @Speedbird

It's against the terms of service to use OEM:COA keys on unauthorized computers, but it's less serious than outright piracy. Microsoft has earned its share. Avoid moving boot drives as they can lead to issues. Perform a fresh Windows installation and let me know if you need an installer.
