You can still install Windows onto the drive even if you have the installation media, as long as the drive is properly connected and recognized by the system.

Use a USB drive for convenience. Connect it and adhere to the setup guide to install on the HDD.

It seems the system won’t recognize the current drive or allow proper selection. You might need to boot from another drive and install there first. Partitioning could be possible, but a simple 8GB USB bootable might be more reliable for this situation.

After installing formats on a hard drive, it becomes impossible to format the installation drive at the same time, making this option unavailable. Nearby stores or media shops offer 8GB USB sticks for very low prices; you don’t need USB 3.0, 2.0 is sufficient.
