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.
