Upgrading from on iMac late 2013 to iMac 2019

So I plan on removing my both my 2tb drives from my 2013 IMac and install them into my 2019 iMac.

Is this simple to do or will in need to do anything special for the new IMac system to know which drive it will boot from?

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

Im comfortable opening the casing and installing new 2tb drives as I did it with my 2013. I double checked with OWC website and the 2019 opens and reseals the same way as the 2013. And yes it’s the 27” version.

My question is more on once I have installed and resealed the iMac 27” 2019, do I need to do anything to have it boot from the correct drive?
