Hi I just bought a late 2010 A1289 Mac pro 2.8qcx/5770/RAID/1tb with no Hard drives. It's like new compete just missing the hard drives.

Can I just copy one of my 2010 imac El captain drive and plug and play to get this Running?

Thanks noob question

If with "copy" you are refering to "cloning"*, then yes, it should boot fine.
(*Carbon Copy Cloner, Super Duper or similar apps).

After that you might want to carefully read the stickies updating it.
