They gave me a laptop that was flooded with water, and the tracks on the motherboard from the monitor cable connector burned out. It was dried and wiped with alcohol. Then connected via VGA to the TV and it worked. Recently, I had to replace the HDD with an SSD, but there was a problem. VGA does not display a picture.

I have a desktop PC.
The question arose: Is it possible to put an OS from under another OS on a hard drive?

Is it possible to put an OS from under another OS on a hard drive?

No.
The OS is installed on the computer, not on the hard drive. The disk only stores files.
Actually, the very essence of the installation is just making changes to the OS files in order for it to work with this equipment.
If you need to install without a monitor - make a distribution kit with the entered answers, and integrated drivers, and the necessary programs, then just put the disk, flash drive or image on the PXE server and wait for it to install.
As an option - put the system on any other computer similar in hardware, and rearrange the disk to the desired one.

Look at the laptop keyboard for a row of function keys. There are various icons there. Look for an icon that says either two screens, or a screen and a laptop. Or the monitor output logo (Similar to something like this | [ ] |) If you find it, press the combination Fn + this key. On my Dell it's Fn+F1, on my ThinkPad it's Fn+F7, on HP it's Fn+F4. The combination will switch the video output to an external monitor even before the OS is loaded/installed.

If Win7/8/10, then using dism or imagex you can deploy the wim-image from the distribution to disk, use bcdedit and bootrec to register the bootloader. Then try to load this sandwich on the target machine and hope that the distribution drivers are enough to boot.
By the way, this is how the version of Windows to go was assembled, when MS demanded a "certified media" for its regular assembly.
There is also such a program https://www.easyuefi.com/wintohdd/index.html
It does about the same thing, but with a mouse click.
A couple of times I saw the distribution of the paid version.
