I just did this back in August.

I had an old computer which got fried but the HDD was okay.  As with you, the OS was on it but it was Windows 7 and I was moving to Win 10.  I bought a new machine with Win 10 and kept the two HDDs from my old one.  Like you, I have USB converters for the disk drives so I can read them.

Once I had the new machine set up the way I wanted it I put my old system drive in one of the USB converters and copied any files I wanted to the appropriate location.  Then I put the old drive in a cabinet in case I decide I need something else later.
