Maybe, maybe not.

Are the graphics card slots in the two PCs compatible? i.e are they both PCI-e or something else? Do both PCs actually have separate graphics cards that aren't inbuilt to the moterhboard?

You'd have to load the respective drivers and any other software on each PC. Are those available for the OS versions each PC runs?

Is this a much bigger job though? Are both PCs running the right type of OS for your intended use, or would you need to reinstall everything as well?
