Getting a new laptop, how can I transfer everything over without reinstalling?

[Ckar]

I am getting another laptop, it is a older macbook pro, named laptop B, and I am currently using a macbook pro, named laptop A

laptop A has a 256gb sata II SSD and I would like to use install that SSD in laptop B, that is OK, now can I not have to wipe the SSD and reinstall the OS and all my programs?

Is that possible with Mavericks?

You can simply move the SSD from the current Macbook to the new Macbook and everything will work without a problem.

Awesome. Does this work for a SSD that had Lion and I want move it to a laptop that can be upgraded to mavericks? I was planning to put the drive in, boot in the OS and run the software update to install Mavericsk.

It will work as long at the target machine is able to boot from the source's hard drive's installed version of Mac OS X. Example, you cannot boot a 2011 Macbook Pro from a hard drive that has Leopard on it.
