Short answer: yes, you can run the OS from the HDD after taking it offline.

 

Long answer: no, the current state will not stay. You have to update everything if you did so.

What i meant is like when i swap a HDD on a laptop with a new ssd, install os on the new ssd. Then maybe in future if i take out the ssd, and put back the original HDD (in the circumstances that i have not touch any of the data inside of it s8nce taking it out). Will the pc retain its previous form upon turning on?

It'll retain the original settings present on the hard drive.
