My Skyrim files have been moved? - Man in White Dress Shirt Sitting Beside Woman in Green Long Sleeve Shirt

So my laptop recently got a problem with the fan. So my mom gave it to a family friend of ours who knew how to fix it. The laptop fan would always be loud. Weeks later we got the laptop back, and a lot changed! I no longer had the Alpha Tango and my Guest acc, I only had this one acc with my mom's name on it. What was left was, I still had my Skyrim files but Skyrim was no longer installed (I think). I searched for Skyrim at the windows button and The Elder Scrolls Skyrim shortcut said it was either changed or moved. I scoured my laptop files for my skyrim folder and all the files were still there, including my saves and my nexusmods folder filled with mods. I want to play skyrim again. Can anyone help me?

Where are my Skyrim game files?

On PC, both the save files for Skyrim and the Skyrim Special Edition are located in the My Games folder in your Documents.

- delete Local Content via Steam by right clicking on game from Steam Library. - delete all files in Steam>Steamapps>Common>Skyrim folder. - delete all files in Users>(user name)>My Documents>My Games>Skyrim folder.
