Question about OS installation and drivers

So i have this Samsung netbook and for whatever reason i just can't get it to boot a windows installation from USB. I've tried YUMI, Rufus etc. Anyway i was wondering if i could just put the hard drive into a different computer and install windows onto it from there and then plug it back into the netbook once the installation is done?

 

It seems like this would work but i'm not sure if there are any changes made in the windows files during the OS installation according to the hardware being used while installing windows or does all of that come afterwards during driver installation?

Intel i7 3770K [] Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 [] MSI R9 290X 4GB [] 16GB  G.SKILL 2133Mhz [] Crucial MX100 256GB [] WD Black 1TB [] XFX Pro 850W [] Fractal Define R3 [] Func MS-3 R2 [] Corsair K60 []

It might work, but probably won't - particularly if the architectures of the chips are different.
