Mac OS X Lion not installing


Hey, I recently bought a used MacBook Pro 2011, I think, and I was trying to factory reset it to wipe everything out of it (files, accounts, etc.). I was following a guide on YouTube on how to do it, and when I pressed to reinstall Mac OS X Lion, it said this: "2 billion hours remaining, then 0 seconds." 20 seconds after it comes up saying "Can’t download additional components needed to install Mac OS X," I've been looking up on YouTube all day how to fix this, but nothing's worked. I have a USB drive and a Windows laptop. I was trying to install Mac OS X Lion from Apple's website, but it’s still not working. I get the same error. Please, someone help me. I really don’t want to go to any store to get it fixed if it could be fixed at home.

MacBook Pro 15″
