So... I have built myself new desktop PC, but I'm using old HDD that has Windows XP on it (I'll buy a new one but for beginning it should be ok), but I want to install Windows 10.
So when I start to install W10 I choose language, and press "Install now". Then It says "A media driver your coputer needs is missing." When I Rescan or Browse files it leads to the "No device drivers were found."
What should I do? (I'm installing from a DVD)

Sometimes that error is a problem with the installer, can you make a new one? Try a USB (8gb) and see if it works.

you can make a new one using the windows 10 media creation tool. Use that to make a win 10 installer on USB or DVD

I am not sure you can run it on XP, it might work... or throw an error saying you cannot upgrade from win xp, but you know that.
