I installed Ubuntu on a laptop drive I had laying about and plugged it into my PC and changed the boot order, and it is all fine and works well, but is there a way I can set it up to boot windows by default and unless I press another key or whatever it boots into ubuntu? I have tried setting up the hotswap bay and setting it to check for the laptop drive first on every boot but it does not seem to work.

You can set up the laptop drive to be the default, then you can run the grub update tool which should update the ubuntu bootloader to find windows, you can then set it to boot windows by default in the grub bootloader, and then manually select ubuntu as secondary

I used grub customizer but all i can find is how to set default which i set WIndows 7 to be, how would i go about setting up a way to force it into ubuntu without selecting in the menu?

I'm not sure what you mean?

You can only have 1 default, which do you want the default to be, windows or ubuntu?
