Unable to recover from windows 10

The PC was refurbished to windows 10 and I got a blue screen now asking for the installation media and when I inserted the USB flash drive it tells me that the hard drive is smaller than the required to recover the system and then quit the whole process.

Your dealing with an old unit that was refurbished. No way of knowing what was originally installed. Where did the WIN 10 USB flash drive originate from ? The circa 2012 HP 8300 series had different models, and the SFF starts on page 49. Storage is listed on page 54 .
