As long as it's not an OEM version [Dell, HP, etc]
Those are 'tied' to the motherboard of that system.
A Retail copy, yes.

There may be an issue if it was activated in the last 120 days.
If it wasn't then there *should* not be one.
If there is any activation issue just call MS and tell them that the
original system it was activated on is dead and that you've installed it
to a new one.
