>>I found a support page that may apply to your machine: https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/ASUS-VivoBook-S15-S510UA/HelpDesk_Download/

Hmm, is it possible any HP apps or services were transferred across? I would:

- in Programs and Features, uninstall anything HP-branded
- in Services, stop and disable any running HP-branded services

When moving to a new machine I generally don't recommend trying to transfer anything. I use the opportunity for fresh installations, to eliminate cruft that has built up over the years.

If you need or want to retain a specific environment (say, for development), the preferred method these days is to develop in a VM. This makes it easily portable to new hardware, or even running on a different host OS such as Linux. If you back up your VMs, disaster recovery is fairly easy. VMs also have other features such as snapshots which can be very handy during development and testing.
