Nope. Windows is quite smart to detect these. Basically a legit Windows 10 installation is tied to a motherboard. If that changes, activation status changes. But there is a way you can reactivate, but for that you'll have to contact Microsoft support
 
Yes, you can use any 2.5-inch HDD on your Dell laptop.

After installing HDD, and powering on your machine for the first time, Windows will detect hardware changes and it will try to install appropriate driver automatically. It may not work properly as it should, and also, previous drivers can create issues, including BSOD.

You may be able to transfer your Windows 10 license from your old laptop to a new computer, if it's a Retail license. To find out the license type, open CMD and type slmgr -dli and hit enter. A Windows script host will open and will display the license type. If it's says OEM, MAK, or VL, then you can not transfer the license.

You can try using the Activation troubleshooter or contact MS support as said by Sparker0i bro.

As far as i know, Laptops come with oem license not retail license. You cant transfer windows ownership from one laptop to another.

If you have purchased from Microsoft then you should be able to migrate. I purchased windows 8 licence from Microsoft and used on desktop. Then used same over new acer laptop and I was not even asked to enter the product key after entering my outlook e-mail address as keys are linked to them.
