Need help on a new build

hi can any one please help, am building a new rig but before i do i have a backup hdd (without the os being on it, it just a for movies, pics etc)  ive run out of space on my external hdd to put them on so i can just transfer it latter on. my question is can i move this hard drive to a new pc without losing any of the data on it. please can any one help thank u 

Yes you can, but make sure you do not format the drive. This will erase EVERYTHING! make sure you don't use it for a boot drive because this often formats the drive whenn setting your new PC up.
