So my family member shared his games via steam with me on my computer. I happened to reinstall windows and download steam again. Now while it says I have access to his account, the games won't pop up in my library. How or what do I do so they appear again and I can use them.

You have to re-enable access to the account because when you reinstall windows steam sees it as a different computer.
