Of course you can install the SSD in the laptop. But you have to transfer the laptop OS to the SSD. See here:

sorry didn't explain myself very well. My laptop recently had a clean install to my hdd. all my files, software etc is on the ssd in my tower. I dot want to loose all this. The ssd is a full clone of the pc os. will this not just plug and play on my laptop. my knowledge of 32bit and 64 bit is zero.

I don't think a disk with an alien (from another system) operating system will do well.

Why don`t you clone from the drive in the laptop to the new ssd ?

Not enough connections ?
