If both machines are the same architecture (e.g. x64_64/amd64), both use 
the same style firmware (e.g. BIOS or UEFI), and both are configured to 
boot from the same partitioning scheme (e.g. MBR or GPT), the system 
instance should boot and you should be able to log in from the console. 
  As other readers have noted, you may need to install/ configure/ 
reconfigure networking, graphics, sound, and/or other drivers; and 
hypervisor optimizations may be different (if you are running virtual 
machines).
