did i harm my laptop by putting a windows drive in it?

First off I am on a phone so excuse any typos. I just got a new laptop that is extremely nice, but I have not yet installed Windows on it as I am waiting for the disc to ship. I have another laptop running an OEM copy of Windows 7 on an msata ssd. I understood that you can't just put a drive with Windows on it into another computer, but I never knew what exactly would happen if you did other than the fact that it wouldn't work... So curiosity got the best of me and I threw the ssd in the new laptop and booted from it. I got a starting Windows screen then a BSOD. So I turned off the laptop, put the drive back in the old laptop and started themboth up. The old laptop booted up fine and everything was fine with it. I went into the bios on the new one (as this is all I can do currently) and every part seems to be recognized by the motherboard... Could this have potentially damaged my new laptop in any way that I may not have seen? I know it was an idiotic thing to do haha... Thanks!

No, you didn't damage anything.

The BSOD was most likely software related - Windows noticed it wasn't on its normal hardware and freaked out and threw the BSOD.

No actual damage. It just won't run.

Your copy of windows recognizes what machine it's supposed to be on, just moving the hard drive over kinda throws a wrench in the works. no harm though, just wait on the disc or *
