I have used this method with a 486 dx4 a long time ago and I wanted to put win98 on it but it didnt want to go so I put it on a different system and it did work so in your case, you can only try it and see. If it does have a conflict booting up, you will find out right away. There is a 50/50 chance it will work.

my advice would be to try it since you got nothing to lose anyway and if that dont work, check the manufacture website out for his pc and see if there is a bios flash update. Do try the first method (Hdd swap trick) then go from there. it should work though.
