Will this SSD fit my motherboard, or what adapter do I need?

I bought a computer off Cyberpower the other day and ordered it without a copy of windows as I currently have a Windows 8 key at home. I am hoping it is as easy as turning it on and popping my product key in/walking through the steps; if you have any experience ordering a pre-built without an OS maybe you can inform me a little? Anyway, I have a miniPCIe mSATA solid state drive (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-PM841-MZ-MTD2560-MZMTD256...) sitting around from an old Razer Blade and was wondering if it will fit the motherboard I ordered (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...) as I hate to see it go to waste. If it will not just pop in can someone recommend an adapter for me to use if it is even possible? Also, is there a way for me to find out what is on the drive (could have Windows and all my old stuff) before putting it in, such as through an enclosure of some sort?

As long as you have the right sata cable and power cable then it should work. They are the same ones as an hdd.
For the OS you just need the key and the iso which comes on a disc or you can download it on a flash drive.
