folder located or some other thing then i hope this may be helpful for you..

Please note : The program filess location is same for both x64 bit version of windows 10 and x86 bit

or how to get to program files x64 on windows 10. They are all same.

Just follow the steps below..

where is windows installed on my computer?

So, first press Windows (logo) key + E Keys on your Keyboard

2) This will open This PC ( the new name of My computer)



3) On that you will see various drives like local disk c, local disk d,etc..,(unless you changed the drive names)

Where is program data folder located in Windows 10 ..?

Program data folder is located on the same windows installed drive.. But the program data folder is

hidden by default.. you need to unhide the folders to view it..

I had shown how to unhide the folders in Windows 10 in this article [Link], this also follows the

same procedure.. when you unhide the folder visit again the windows installed drive, you will find

program data folder now..

Thats it..
