    Windows 7 Inserting an SSD

    I have W7 on a desktop and a 2.5inch SSD removed from a 'dead' laptop. Can I somehow remove the W7 OS, put in the SSD and re-install W7 onto the SSD? The W7 is on a CD which I bought. I would assume I would have to put the small SSD into a cradle then into a spare slot?
