Re-install the OS once you put it in the new PC. This will reduce conflict.

NOTE: That SSD will be installed into a different pc someone time later.

When you install an OS it needs to install certain drivers and components depending on the hardware and bios settings. Unless both PC's are absolutely identical, you will run into issues and possible BSOD.

The windows key is bound to the motherboard, so if it's changed, there will be problems.

Regardless, you can reset the key.
