Swapping Hard Drives between 2 macbook pros

Query: I have a late 2011 13.3 inch macbook pro, i5, 4g ram, 500g HDD, loaded with el capitan and boot camped with windows 10. I also have a mid 2012 13.3 inch macbook pro, i5, 16g ram, 500g hdd, el capitan bootcamped with windows 7. I would like to simply swap the hdds and therefore put the one with the win 10 partition into the machine with more RAM. Would this be possible? Would they both turn on and work as before. Thanks in advance for all your help.
