Swapped ssd between laptop for a few days then swapped them back. Now will only boot into windows in safe mode.

Tried

Try opening "msconfig" then change back to normal startup.

Does the laptop's original drive in question have a hidden restore partition?

No luck.

Does the laptop's original drive in question have a hidden restore partition?

How would I check this ?

Okay, see if there is a recent RESTORE POINT (system restore) and if so restore that. It deletes any application installed AFTER the restore point date (it should give a list if you ask) but not FILES.

Google for how. https://www.dummies.com/computers/operating-systems/windows-7/how-to-create-a-system-restore-point-in-windows-7/

As per above I think clicking "System Restore" takes you to a list of restore points (if you have any). If that feature is not enabled you should do so for C-drive.

You tried MSCONFIG but look at the second option.

Tried option 2 in the second link, it wouldn't work. I put the ssd in question into another laptop and boots up normally.

Huh...
Maybe investigate REPAIR MODE (via W7 Install USB stick):
