inspiron 3250 lost harddrive want to install Linux mint

I have an older (2016) 3250 that came with windows 10. I had a complete lost of my harddrive. Is it possible to use a new hard drive and install Linux Mint to this PC. I tried installing life Mint using a bootable USB. Seems to be issues with Bios. Is it possible to reinstall my original Dell system using my service tag and then dual booting?
