- Connect the new hard drive to your computer.

- Windows will begin copying files and installing the operating system.
- After the installation is complete, you’ll be prompted to set up Windows, including creating a user account, setting up security settings, and personalizing your desktop.
- Once the setup is complete, your new hard drive with Windows 10 will be ready to use.
Note: It’s always a good idea to back up your important data before installing a new operating system. This will help ensure that you don’t lose any important files or information during the installation process.
