how would I play games from the steam store null

You can use it wired using a USB-C to USB-C cable connected to your PC, Oculus sells one themselves or you can get alternatives as they are cheaper. You can also use it wirelessly using Virtual Desktop or Oculus Airlink, both available in the Oculus Store, although you might notice slight latency issues.

There are two ways that I know of. One is with the link/charging cable, plugged into your PC using the oculus software to run the headset, from there the process would be similar to running steam on a rift S. The second would be to use Oculus Air Link (or something simar) which bypasses the oculus software and also bypasses the cable, allowing you to connect to your PC wirelessly over your internet. You can find a few videos online if you are interested in learning how.

You can use Airlink (needs Oculus Desktop App, free) or Virtual Desktop (requires Virtual Desktop Streamer, $20) for wireless. For wired, you can use a USB-C to USB-A or USB-C to USB-C. Make sure it is long enough and meets transfer speed requirements, check Oculus Desktop for details on that.

You can not simply "plug in" the USB-c cable to connect to your PC. Your PC needs the port! I bought the cable, but can not use it! My newer (expensive) computers do not have the USB-c port. (needed for higher-powered games also,)
