First the drive will need to be a 2.5” to fit inside and support the newer version of S.M.A.R.T

As for running Windows only after you’ve installed BootCamp under MacOS will you be able to then install Windows. Here’s a good guide on how How to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp

So, if you where trying to save whats on the drive that won’t work.

Short answer, probably not. The drive would have to be formatted as GPT; if the donor Windows machine was a UFEI system then you MIGHT be able to boot from the drive. You can try connecting the drive to a USB adapter and seeing if the Mac will boot from it. If it shows up as a boot device then it's GPT.

However, even if you can boot into it you'll need a Windows license key and Apple's Boot Camp drivers for the hardware. If your Mac is running OS X now that second part shouldn't be a problem; just run Boot Camp Assistant and make a USB drive with the drivers on it.

Personally, I'd just swap the hard drives, reformat, install OS X, then use Boot Camp Assistant to make the smallest possible/practical OS X partition, then clean-install Windows onto the other partition. Least amount of question marks there.
