simple question… if i was to take my macbook hard drive out and put it on my laptop and installed windows would it work?

Answer:
The cable connections need to be the same.Depending on whether that hard drive is (PATA) (parallel advanced technology attachment) or (SATA) (serial advanced technology attachment) it attaches via a (PATA) transfer cable to the motherboard or a (SATA) transfer cable to the motherboard respectively. Both are (IDE) Devices, Integrated Drive Electronics/ Interface. In either case there is also a power supply cord attached to it from the (Power Supply unit) to provide it with power.

Answer:
I would say don't chance it, go to your nearest Apple store and they will do it for you. (because you don't want to end up braking your mac)
Answer:
Yes. As long as the laptop you’ve meets the same specifications that the hard drive needs. The hard drive isn’t Apple specific.
Answer:
If you formatted it before installing Windows, yes. A hard drive is a hard drive.
