Guys I need your help urgently.
So a couple days ago my computer started acting up. Long story short there was a problem with booting up and the hard drive was "locked" so I couldn't repair or reset it etc. I have windows 8.1
I created a boot device USB from windows 8.1 and tried to reset my PC while wiping all my files. (All my files were backed up so losing them is not a problem). Only problem is I accidentally used a USB recovery from a windows 10 x32bit computer, and when it got to 100% reset it said there was an error and now I have no Operating System installed on the hard drive.
The good news is the actual hardware is fine (I think) and I just have to figure out how to re install an operating system on my computer.
It came pre loaded with windows 8 and is a laptop.
How can I install the original operating system back into it now?

But there's no operating system on it anymore. Would it still work?

Thank you. As you all all obviously aware. I am not great with technology and I do not regularly visit /g/.
I am very thankful for your help and will let you know if I have any more problems.
Your humble friend, anonymous

what brand laptop is this? usually you should be able to press a key at boot time to get into recovery mode (F11 for HP. possibly diff for other brands like Dell or Lenovo etc. google your exact laptop model to be sure)
you can also press F8 as some models put recovery in the boot menu (assuming it's still there)

HP. I've tried and can access these menus but nothing in the menus fixes the problem. I've tried every option from repair to reset to command prompt. And now the operating system is wiped I can't reset it either.
