if want perform clean installation o new 2tb hard drive no problem!

if have not created bootable flash drive or dvd iso, click here download windows usb/dvd download tool , use create bootable windows installation media iso

remove old hard drive pc , put new drive it

insert installation media

then, boot pc installation media created (change boot order in bios)

 

if had windows 10 installed , activated on pc during installation process skip steps ask product key , select option 'i reinstalling windows 10 on pc', , activation not issue, pc have digital entitlement stored on microsoft servers
