You mean that can be done??? I thought it was a little like M$ and
couldn't be changed to another computer and work.

No, there is no intended lock of an installed system to a particular
machine. What would be the point, if you are free to install Ubuntu on as
many machines as you like? And yes, it usually works, but it isn't
guaranteed. One problem is the network card which has the wrong MAC
address in the file "/etc/udev/rules/70-persistant-net-rules". So you
should delete the entry in that file before moving the drive.
