I have a Lenovo B520 computer with Win 7 pre-installed.
#1. The CD/DVD drives are not getting recognized now
#2. Existing 1TB HDD seems to have failed
#3. I do not have any recovery discs and the in-built One-key recovery was willing to create Recovery disc on CDs (CD drive is not getting recognized in my computer while USB drives are not an option for One-key recovery version available in my PC) - few days before when I tried
#4. I have brought a new 4TB Internal HDD but am told that B520 BIOS does not recognize a HDD more than 2TB.

Questions:
#1. What options do I have for using this 4TB HDD on my computer ?
#2. Can I download & do a clean install of Win10 (provided I can use 4TB HDD replacing existing HDD, which has failed) with the same Product Key of Win 7 ?
