Very unlikely. Recovery partitions typically include an operating system pre-packaged with the drivers and software intended to run the system they were delivered with. ie: your old computer.
If you were to perform the recovery on a new system with completely different hardware, it is likely that it won’t even boot into Windows at all. You could get lucky of course, it may just boot. And if it does, it would only be a matter of running the Driver disk that comes with the new system, once you have Windows up and running. This might just get it going for you.
I wouldn’t bet on it, given the age of the old system, it is not going to have even one driver/hardware component that is similar to the new system. The only way to get this to work would be if the recovery process asks you each step of the way, giving you the option to NOT install the drivers. This would give you just a clean install of Windows and it would then work almost perfectly, after you run the new system driver disk of course.
And in case you’re wondering, none of this should harm your new system. Just remember to do a full format of the hard drive after it fails to be sure it’s clean, ready for a new OS to be installed.
Worth a try I guess. Just an hour out of your life if it fails
