Jun 28, 2015 4:48 AM in response to andyhan95by OGELTHORPE,Early or late 15" 2013 MBP?
If the 15" retina is a late 2013 model, be advised that there was a change in the flash storage technology used in that model from the prior generation. I do not know what impact that may have if you swapped the SSDs.
Ciao.

Jun 28, 2015 6:10 AM in response to andyhan95by spudnuty,In addition to the change in flash drive storage technologies from those two years as OGLETHORPE notes, the problem I would worry about would be the build numbers of the two OSs.
I'm not sure but they could be different.
From:
OS X versions and builds included with Mac computers - Apple Support
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) Oct 2013 10.9 10.9.2, 10.9.4 13A3017, 13C64, 13E28 MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013) Feb 2013 10.8.2 10.8.3 12C3103, 12D78
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012) Oct 2012 10.8.1 10.8.2 12B2100, ,12C2034, 12C3103
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) Jun 2012 10.7.3 10.7.4, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10.2 11D2515, 11E2617, 12A269, 13A603, 14C109
I would say the safest way would be to use your backups to clone your individual OSs to your respective new computers.
No backups? Each of you buy an external HD to use as a backup (Should have one anyway.), clone your respective SSDs to those externals using CCC:
or Super Duper:

or Time Machine but I prefer these two.
Boot your new machines from those new externals, erase your respective drives and clone your original OS to your new computer.
I think this would be the only way to guarantee success and it's the way I would do it but then I have 15 spare drives laying around.
