how to install new hdd ?

Are we dealing with a laptop or a desktop? Are you looking to add the HDD for storage or for installing the OS on it(with multiple partitions)? If on a desktop, you should power down your system, connect the SATA power and data cables from the PSU and the motherboard(respectively) to the HDD. If you're installing an OS onto the HDD, the installer will allow you to format, create partitions and finally install the OS onto desired partition.

First create backup of all your important files. Then replace HDD with new one. On new hdd you need to install Operating System like Windows 7,8,10 or Linux then copy backup files on the new HDD.
