Tech help

I changed the wheels on my bike and while doing so put a new 10 speed cassette on the new wheel.
This would mean I would have shiny new wheels on my bike and the old wheel with the old cassette to use on the turbo (I really hate changing my tyres over all the time!!)
However, now my gears are not shifting correctly with the new wheel / cassette.
The old cassette was a shimano 10 speed 12-25 and the new one is a SRAM 1070 10 speed 12-27.
I stupidly thought I would be able to swap between the two with no issue.
When I change the gears with the new wheel they are pretty rough sounding. It shifts up to the 27 cog but will not shift all the way to the 12 - it will not go onto the two smallest cogs.
I wonder if the problem is with the hub itself, I know it can be adjusted so does it just need to be aligned to suit my bike?
I guess if I need to index / adjust the gears to match the new wheel then the old one won't work properly when I want to use the turbo?
Things are never straight forward!!
