There are a few ways to look at this. If you still have the factory image this is your best bet, just reset PC and you are back to the factory state. To remove anything you dont want Ccleaner shows items that the windows uninstall does not and does a much better job at it.
If you choose to reinstall completely and wipe your drive then make sure you save the eSupport folder first. It has all the drivers and software. For most of it updated drivers can be downloaed but there are a few that cannot, most important one is sound studio that wihout it the sound on the G752 is horrendous. I strongly discourage this method though unless....
Do factory reset
by new drive
Clone OEM drive to new drive
Put OEM drive away for safe keeping
Then you can do whatever you wish as you have an insurance policy of being able to recover to a factory state without having to send the machine off to ASUS and pay to have the drive reimaged.

Your problems is your notebook comes from Asus with the BIOS SATA setting to RAID, you need to install the RAID Driver to see the drive in windows install.
As I mention earlier the latest BIOS's allow you to change the SATA setting to AHCI, So a RAW new SSD will show up to install too. A RAID disk would need to be Cleaned and converted to GPT then the windows install will see the SSD.

Just curious. If the NVME was turned to MBR, what would happen?

you've got a Ferrari ( NVME ) and you want to drive it in the city's traffic (MBR) ?
no sense there...
GUID is the latest tech of "partitioning structure" for drives and was created with ssd in mind.
MBR was developed in the stone age of rotational disks...
also if you want to downgrade and work with mbr, you'll have to ENABLE "CSM" option in the bios ( i.e LEGACY BIOS enabled) since windows 7,8,10 can't boot MBR while booting using UEFI.
more info about that in my windows re-installation guide ( see my sig ).
what I guess you should strive for is to disable RAID on NMVE, then set it as AHCI.
then, when you boot windows installation it should detect it as NVME since win10 got built-in NVME drivers.
there are few guides about it and specific for G752 around here... SEARCH IT.
