It sounds like you still need to install an operating system on the hard drive.
Putting in the hard drive is only half the repair. You'll need to put Windows (or whatever OS you want) on the hard drive.
There's a pretty thorough Guide on installing Windows 11 at ArsTechnica. You'll need a USB flash drive and another computer with internet access.
