Not at all a good suggestion.
I'm not violating anything, merely answering the OP's question.

The HDD can be moved and set to slave without interfering with the main HDD - not even sure why you think otherwise.
The old HDD image can be restored to the new one either in whole or part, but a) the newer OS can be reinstalled easily if OP chose to do a full restore and a reinstall would be moot if OP chose a partial image restore, b) Windows automatically obtains drivers, c) most hardware is going to be compatible with Windows anyway, d) the Office license may be a full license that can be transferred to a new PC or a license that cannot, since I don't know I'm just giving the OP a heads up and his options.

There's so much wrong with your thinking here that I'm not even going to get into it.

Do you actually think, based on the OP's post (no offense OP), that they could understand or do any of that?
