Hello!
Recently I tried to fix my system with software, but instead it screwed my entire PC over and I had to install fresh Windows 10. After reinstallation, all my apps from both discs are not detected, including Steam, Geforce Experience or even Chrome. All apps do exist but wont run for some reason, my old windows folder was replaced with fresh installation, and I own windows.old folder. Is it possible to make windows re-recongenise old apps and eventually copy settings from windows.old to make it work and look like before installation? I don't have recovery file because of limited space.

Unfortunately no, you'll have to reinstall all of them manually.
