There is always more to say, certainly about such a large-scale and significant series of events, but u/PangeranDipanagara offered a detailed response to a very similar question here a couple of years ago, and it would be well worth reviewing that response while you wait for fresh answers to your query:

How did Indonesia and Malaysia become majority-Muslim when they were once dominated by Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms?
