If the other laptop is EXACTLY the same make and model then YES it should act exactly as it did on the original laptop.
When Windows is installed it customizes itself to the hardware it finds on the computer. If you transfer the hard drive and the hardware is not the same general design it's possible that it will not boot into Windows.
You might also be able to plug an external monitor into the current laptop. Find the PFKey needed to activate the VGA post and then you will be able to use the laptop much like a desktop.
Good Luck
