Swapping hard drives between laptops

[stringed]

I have used a Dell Studio 1745 laptop running Windows 7 Professional for almost 7 years. It is failing in small ways. Before I have a critical failure causing loss of data, I was wondering if its possible swapping out the healthy hard drive from it and installing it in a newer HP Pavilion g6 laptop running Windows 10. 

As a general question, can hard drives be swapped out, bringing their OS and all data onto another machine with the assumption the new machine will operate with all the data and functionality transferred to the new laptop? That would save me inestimable time transferring all the files and installing programs one by one.
