Swapping disk drives

Hey all-

 

I have two identical Dell 7310 laptops. Both have M2 SSDs. One developed a memory error and the RAM is not replaceable, it is soldered onto the motherboard. And of course it is the laptop with critical work being done. So question...can I simply take the drive from the bad one and swap it with the other laptop? Not sure what or if these drives/OS installs get married to the individual hardware or not. Anybody able to shed light on this? It is Windows 11 Pro. I'm just fearing a TPM issue, etc.
