While the drive may be interchangeable from a hardware perspective, you should have been told that the Windows license for each drive is tied to the PC, not the owner. So while you CAN switch drives, once you start using it, the Windows will become deactivated and there will be no way to reactivate it. If you can live with that, then that is your decision.
