Do these use rights associated with the Volume Licensing Windows desktop operating system upgrade licenses impact swappable hard drive and dual-boot scenarios?
Yes. According to the Microsoft Volume Licensing Product Use Rights, for each Windows desktop operating system upgrade license you have acquired through your Volume Licensing agreement, you may install two instances of Windows on one desktop. This use right is not restricted to virtual machines and may extend to swappable hard drives and dual-boot scenarios as long as the two instances of Windows are not accessed or used on more than one device.
