Yes.
Maybe sure that you go into your bios setup afterward and select the right one to boot from.

Jumpers only have to do with how the hard drives are chained together, not where the OS is installed. This means that the first hard drive on the cable should be master and any other drives should be slaves.

Yep. PatM sounds very confused.
You might keep the old drive in there as a slave for backup and a source of hardware drivers
