You put a SSD from a PC directly into a laptop with vastly different components without formatting or reinstalling Windows?

Yes, put the drive back in the PC.  Then copy what files you want to another drive or USB or cloud device.

 

Then put the SSD into the laptop and boot into a USB Windows Install drive

 

Then copy back files from the first step to the new fresh laptop.

It doesn't work like that.  Your laptop isn't just a shell you can pop in a drive and go. 

 

"My laptop had is all the time running 100% usage on just the dektopdesktop" - I don't know what this means.

So why don't you reinstall Windows on your laptop and freshen it up?  You've obviously got somethings running the background and a clean install is always nice.
