Help with OS

[TechyNoob]

Hey guys, i wanted to use a windows 7 Laptop HDD from a gateway laptop to my pc for the OS. Whenever I put it in there and turn it on, the system doesnt boot up. But when i used my laptop that I am currently using with windows 8.1, I boots up perfectly (Laptop right now is a Inspiron 5735). Can you guys help and give some tips? I jsut want windows 7 then once windows 10 comes out i'll transfer it onto an ssd in the computer. Please help and thanks for it!

The thing is, It won't boot up to bios because the system won't turn on with that hdd in place

Ok, but whenever i put the HDD in it doesnt boot up. Nothing turns on. So if i were to going to do that i would have to remove the HDD and then i wouldn't be able to select it in the bios
