wouldn't the ID be the same, as I have the same partition layout as before?
No, the ID is the disk ID, not part of the partition layout. Just run "fdisk -l /dev/..." on each disk (old and new) and you will clearly see an entry labelled "disk identifier". If it is different, Windows will refuse to run. There is a menu entry in fdisk to change it, in the "extra functionality" menu.
I'm puzzled by Carlos' response. AFAIK, entries in /dev/disk/by-id/
I never talked about entries in "/dev/disk/by-id/". Go look in fdisk, in the place I said. It is also visible in Glenn's answer. Cloning full disk with dd clones this particular identifier.
As is normal for him, James has provided limited information about what he did, e.g. his meaning of his words "move" and "installing".
