Hi! Yes, your new hard drive will work. My only worry is that you may not have the proper connectors just so long as your new computer has the proper connectors inside, you said your last pc was old, so it may be using an older connection, there's no way for me to know without further information, but a general rule is if it was made in the last 5-7 years you SHOULD be fine.

Hi! Thanks for the help about the connection you mean sata cables etc? My old pc was dell optiplex 390,so it will work right if i just swap pc

It depends on how you installed them. Steam makes it easy to move hdd and games without re-downloading, epic is a pain in the ass. Stand alone games with no launcher are on a per game basis. Some work, some dont.
