How do I install Windows 10 on a flash drive onto a new hard drive?

I need a very simple, step-by-step instructions. Seriously, SIMPLE! So far I cannot find any adequate explanation or detailed steps on how to do it.

I built a new computer.

I have a flash drive.

I have a windows 10 code.

I do not have the disk, I just have the code.

The hard drive is brand new.

The motherboard is a LGA1150.

All I see on this website is how to upgrade, how to upgrade, how to upgrade, buy a computer with Windows 10, and nothing about entering a product key, installing the OS to a flash drive, and on to a new hard drive.

I do not understand why Microsoft has to make this complicated. There should be a box that says: enter product key. Then it should route you to a page asking you how you would like to install it. Then once you answer (flash drive in this case) instructions
are shown to guide you onto how to install it with the install button on the page. It should say in simple text: This is for new hard drives. Very simple. Seriously Microsoft! do this.

 

Computer says Hard Drive failure imminent even though it's a new hard drive?

I got a new hard drive from amazon (which was it's pick for a hard drive search) and sometimes it loads windows slowly and says that. (I don't know why it randomly loads windows slowly) Now it said hard drive failure is imminent. I had gotten this same
hard drive earlier, but I had it replaced stating that. Yet it just had the same problem though it seems to perform better. I don't know why it's doing it at all as it's a new hard drive. Also I literally just had a bug making this post to where it would randomly
highlight text and I couldn't remove the hard drive so I had to reload the page.

 

How do I replace/clone my hard drive without exstra things besides the new hard drive its self?

Basically my main hard drive is failing, has been for about a month and things are getting slower on the boot up, for windows. I get the smart alert screen or whatever and then it takes about 30 mins to and hour for windows to come up. So i'm guessing my
hard drive with everything is on its last leg. The good news is I have a replacement hard drive i bought yesterday. I've already placed it in my pc and booted up along side the origional hard drive to actually see how to do this.

The new hard drive is showing up in my device manager, though I do not know how to transfer everything from one drive to the other. Also I do not have any recovery disk or exsternal hard drives ect... I just got the replacement. Which is why i'm here, because
so far I've yet to find the instructions on how to transfer it all even though its clearly connected to my pc now. I also don't have a windows 10 cd ect... to reinstall windows. From what I've read I need to clone my origional to the new but I simply don't
know how as i'm missing some of the things the youtubers and net writers mention in their step guides. I know the answer would be simply to buy those things and proceed only my pay check is a week away and if this thing shuts down i'm afraid i'll never get
it booted back up.
