    Hello,

    For the drivers that you need to reinstall, it may be easier to go to ASUS' driver download website (https://www.asus.com/us/support/download-center/) rather than trying to find the drivers manually.

    For your games, you mainly need to install the Epic Games Launcher (https://store.epicgames.com/download?lang=en-US) and Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/about/). Once you download them, log in, and then navigate to your library so you can reinstall a majority of your games.

    For your other apps, most of them should have come preinstalled when you reinstalled Windows (such as Microsoft Edge). If you have a browser app already, you can go to https://www.google.com/chrome/ and download Chrome. If not, open a Command Prompt window (as admin) and type winget install Google.Chrome and push enter. This will install Google Chrome.

    If you have any questions during the process, please let me know, and I would be happy to assist.

    I hope to hear back from you.
