If I connect such SSD externally via usb to another laptop and choose in its BIOS settings to boot from USB, will the OS on this SSD boot up as if it were inserted into this another laptop?

It should, there might be some driver issues. This would be a problem if it is the WLAN driver since then Windows can't download another from the Internet unless you use a wired connection.

Windows also might have activation issues since too much hardware has changed.
