Decided to scan my PC for malwares after some time of using it, using MalwareBytes. When the scan was ready, it found alot of Trojans, BackDoors, Bitcoin Miners, etc. I quarantined all of them and did a factory reset on the machine. Is this enough?

Some people will tell you to literally throw your computer in the trash because "It can spread to your hardware too". This is extremely unlikely to happen. You are most likely fine after a Windows reset.
If you want to bother for peace of mind, you can reformat your drive while installing Windows through a USB. When you get to the phase where it asks you where you want to install Windows, right click on the drive and reformat it.
There are a lot of good guides on how to install Windows from 0(and format your drive while at it), use Google to find any of them. This will erase all your data.
Also, you should change your passwords.
