Can I buy a hard drive with Windows 10 installed?

Only if you also buy the machine the hard drive is installed in. You can buy Windows 10 on a USB stick and then use that stick to install Windows 10 to the hard drive. You should consider getting a good solid state disk SSD instead of a HDD for boot speed.
