You can change every piece of hardware BUT your motherboard if you have Vista OEM.

So yes, you can install it on your old HDD, to test, and then install it on your new one when it comes.

Yes you can But Remember it is OEM so its only allowed to work on 1 computer and Be aware that After a few windows activations microsoft will try to terminate that key (has happend to me).. My Advice is to wait for that Hard drive to come and install it once..
