It should not be an issue. You may need to fix some things like install
different graphics drivers if you're using proprietary drivers. Otherwise,
it should work.

Case in point, I'm currently using a 1TB laptop drive in a HP Z220
workstation. The installation on that HDD used to live on a 500GB HDD in an
Alienware m15x laptop that failed. I moved the entire image via DD from the
dying HDD to the 1TB drive and ran that in the Alienware until it started
having problems.

Good luck.
