The answer is Yes if two computers have the same hardware and the same operating system.

This means that any differences in hardware, such as a different motherboard or processor, will prevent this from working. If you are planning to clone the hard drive to another computer with different hardware, you will need to perform a clean installation of your operating system on the new computer.

Though it is possible to clone a hard drive and use it in another computer with similar hardware and operating system, it may still not work as expected due to driver incompatibility issues.
