Just transplant the disk. In a 2010 machine, it is just about possible
that the hard disk is EIDE/ATA, although I think very unlikely. If it
is SATA, it should Just Work™.

Nothing should need modification. If you clone the system to a
newer/bigger disk, you might need to reinstall the bootloader, or
install a new EFI bootloader. If you can, get a machine that will boot
a BIOS-type system from hard disk.

It may, yes.

None of the others should.
