Windows 10: How is Windows able to track my previous Win10 installation after a full wipe?

I recently formatted my drive and clean installed Windows, and after the new installation, Windows still shows some apps from the Microsoft Store as being purchased on older dates, from the previous installation.

Mind you, I never signed in to Microsoft Store in the previous installation or current installation, just using a local account.

The apps that it shows are AMD Radeon Settings Lite, Windows 10 Pro (?? lol), Photos Media Engine Add-On.

How can they track this if everything was wiped?

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.
