Possible To Swap Hard Drives Between Two X200 Tablets?

With my motherboard possibly failing, would it be possible to swap hard drives between two X200Ts and carry on as normal? Would I just need to make sure that the Machine type is the same? (In my case 7448CTO). I may purchase a 'new' X200T (w/Multitouch) off of eBay.

you would need to reactivate windows if you are using win vista or 7.

The same key would work then correct? If I would need to reactivate, then I wouldn't have to worry about the Machine type right? Just make sure it is an X200 Tablet with all of the options that my current one has (Expresscard, Multitouch, 4GB, AT&T Wireless, etc)??

you should have an authenticity sticker on the bottom of the laptop which allows you to activate the os (provided they are of the same version and edition).
