Not enough information - at least not to troubleshoot...

But I can tell you this...

Second-hand computer... Wipe it, install fresh. You'll know what you have
and not have anything left behind by the previous owner(s).

If the computer has a recovery partition on it, and the fact that 'HP
Recovery' messages pop up suggests that it has, ensure that only HP recovery
files exist on the partition. Anything added to the recovery partition will
fill the drive up to the point where Windows will register 'not enough free
space'.
