There is a couple of things you have to think about before installing a new OS on a disc (HDD).
First, check if the HDD is empty and doesnt contain any important information that you wanna save/take backup on before installing a new OS on it.
Second, you need to have a installation package(usually a iso-file) that you will need to use to install the new OS.
Third, Make a USB.flashdrive or CD bootable with the installation package(iso-files) and use it to boot up before booting windows.
If you havent done it before, i recommend using some guides on the internet before installing a new OS, since it is some important things to think about before.

If you buy a new OS it installs itself. If you already have an OS on your old drive, the new drive usually contains software to clone it. I suggest you go to youtube and search the brand name of your new drive to see if there are instructions. If the new OS is Linux, you download a .iso file and then go to https://rufus.ie to get a program that makes a bootable thumb drive, and that is what you run to install Linux on your hard drive. You could also burn a DVD and use that instead of the thumb drive.
Macrium is another program for managing drives. https://macrium.com

If you have old but functional HDD then installing LINUX on it is a good option. You can format the old HDD and also install the Linux Image on DVD or USB Drive. Then go through installing the process of linux on that HDD using the DVD or the USB.
There are lot of tutorials that you can follow on youtube depending on which linux flavor you want to install.

To install a new operating system (OS) on a new hard drive (HDD), you will need to follow these basic steps:
- Connect the new HDD to your computer.
- Create a bootable USB drive with OS installer.
- Boot your computer from the bootable USB drive.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to install the OS on the new HDD.
- Configure your BIOS to boot from the new HDD.
- Once the installation is finished, you will need to reboot your computer.
The easiest way to install a new Operating System (OS) on a new hard drive is to boot the computer up with a bootable installation disc or USB drive. This is usually provided by the manufacturer of the OS you are trying to install. The installation disc or USB drive will contain the necessary software and instructions to install the OS. Once the installation is complete, you may need to install additional drivers or software to get the new hard drive working properly.
There are a few ways to install new OS in new HDD. The most common way is by using a Linux computer. You can also try to install the new OS on a Windows computer. However, it is not as simple as just trying to install the new OS on a Windows computer. You need to do some preparations and configuration before starting the installation. For example, you need to set up a server to install the new OS. You can set up a server in the same location as your current HDD. Once the new OS is set up, you can start the installation.
