What are the parts in your build??? Please mention parts list in detail as well as the below information...
Age of the build, last time it was working, any changes you have made since then, OS is activated or not, anything else that you think can be helpful.

What storage drives do you have? Have you tried checking for boot device priority in BIOS?

i am not sure what storage drives i have and when i check for boot priority there is nothing to select. I am at work right now but i’ll check what storage i have

There should be a section in your BIOS where you can set Boot Device priority. Make sure it is selected as Storage Drive(not network, optical or removable drive) and then choose the particular Windows drive as priority if you have multiple storage devices.
This is assuming you have Windows loaded on one of the drives.

First get a USB stick and go to a working PC to "Create Windows 10 Installation Media" from here...

Check some youtube videos if you are not sure.

Next, install the new HDD and detach all other drives for now in your PC and go to BIOS. Choose "Removable Drive" as boot device, which is your USB stick with installation media. Now plug in the USB and run the Windows installation...

Once done, reattach all other drives if you want to use them and get back to BIOS. Now choose the HDD with Windows as your boot device and you should be golden.
