OMG! I really did a bad thing. i did a clean install of W 1O and had no idea that i loose all Asus pre installed programs and i tried to use my USB W8.1 recovery to go back and that will not work, and i have no old windows file saved as pc was not working great and i done another recovery and probably lost the Window old file. how can i get back my Asus programs that are not on the website? please i really need your help as now i only have W10 with nothing in my programs not even Ge force Experience. i don't think i can go back to W8.1 now as i did a clean install. and if im stuck with windows 10 i need my Asus programs that came with windows. please help as im very upset and desperate that the only think that keeps me from braking this laptop is because its nice and expensive cause i really had it with MS. Is it possible W 1O that Asus use on there Laptops that i can download ? even if i have to pay for as long its not expensive as im unemployed. or is there a way i can go back to 8.1 with buying the disk from Asus? my USB back up done with W8.1 backtracker will not booth it keeps bringing select country and keyboard and repeating with no success.

"please please please" STOP POSTING new threads FOR NO REASON !
Just look at the right upper corner of forum, then enter your query in the "Search" field, Hit enter and search.
a better idea is to GOOGLE THE QUESTION with the addition of the epilogue:
site:https://rog.asus.com/forum


Your "IMPORTANT" issue was debated like 10000000000000000000000000000 times, long time ago, again and again.

You might ask your self - "why should I bother" ?
Well, leaving a reply in an already opened thread, with same/similar topic, can help the ROG community by having ONE THREAD that debates same subject, instead of many many others.
That way, the ROG community will have a "library of knowledge" on same topic - IN ONE PLACE.

With all due respect.. how the F***! do you expect us to not open new threads when there are no clear answers to specific things and when the posted answers/questions have ROG model mixups.. Like on your "Complete Drivers List" WHERE IS G750JW!?!?!?!? and how do I get a list or program to install EVERYTHING that came installed in the laptop including drivers AND software fresh out of the box!.. see this is why some people write new threads because not a lot of contex in answers or questions being made and some of us just want like a program or list of EVERYTHING we NEED to install AFTER a clean install.. Sorry if I came a bit strong here but I factory reset my ROG G750 fresh clean install of Windows 8.1 from upgraded windows 10 because My laptop was acting up and I just wanted to reset the damn thing back to the way it was when I first opened it from it's box and booted it up.. but for some reason when I search EVERYWHERE in the internet nothing comes up for me.. Sorry..

Very Respectfully

Don't panic. After a clean install, just go to the asus website support page, specify what laptop and os you have. All software and drivers are there, just install them. GPS3DX has a guide for a clean install of w8/10, just follow his guide. I have not used backtracker before, so I cannot comment.

Cant get everything off the website, most but not all. I have the esupport folder saved in several places in the unlikely event Ill ever need it as I try to avoid clean installs like the plague.

my apologies for opening this thread when there mite be similar open threads, but if someone tell me how to delete this whole thread then i will.. thanks NB

@Noel - thanks for these words, apology accepted.
The important thing is that you and many other can and have learn from this, as most of the repeating Q have already answers in sticky threads or simple internal/google search can show you the solution ( most of the common, most asked Q for sure can be found ).

generally only admins have the power to wipe a thread, so one need to "Report" ( star sign ) to them and ask it - but I think that this thread is now a good remainder for the "search first" idea ( so really it's up to you )

The point is! i spent 15 hr's non stop doing all this and it would be a nightmare if something goes bad for now I kept all downloads on another HD just in case.

Saving windows's installation disk image, laptop's drivers and system "images" is a wise step to do...
hell - I got like 100GB+ of that stuff.
Also, the wasted time is one of the reasons that drove me to write many guides in this forum ( see my sig ).

@JustinThyme - care to share with us which drivers cannot be found on Asus support pages and that are missing from posts #5,#6,#7 in my guides ?
I'll be glad to update the guide with the relevant drivers.

P.S - I don't includes "Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility" in posts #5,#6,#7 as it is an "overclocking app" and definitely not a "basic needed driver" nor it is Asus offical app ( like GPUTweak II, which I did include under "OFFICIAL ASUS UTILITIES" )
There are already other threads which debates about overclocking in our sub-forum.

I know, this reply was specific for you. in previous post i've suggested to do a rollback in case he/she jus updated to win 10 and not formatted. Windows 10 keep for one month the win 8.1 backup.

indeed that is what MS decided and implemented.

I wonder though what will happen if you update to windows 10 -> call for RMA some other reason, which afterwards asus have to return your laptop with win8 ( if you bought it with win8 ( it's their internal regulation ) ) - will they reactivate the win8 with new OEM product key on same motherboard ? I don't think it's possible... AFAIK only motherboard replacement will allows them to get back genuine win8, if prior Mobo was upgrade to win10 ( and 1 month past ).
I still wonder though.
