If not, how do I find the local disk on my windows 10 lenovo yoga 14?

Sorry if that's a dumb question, I just don't want to mess anything up on my laptop. Thanks!

    Yes Windows C: is the same as Local Disk C:

    When you open file explorer and click on the C drive you will see a Windows folder.

    That is the folder that contains your Windows files and is normally installed on the C drive.

    Let me know if you have any further questions.

    Hi MMSmith20, yes both are the same . . .

    At a lower level, Windows only recognises the drive letter, the label on the drive is just for us users to make a distinction between our drives.

    You are in no danger of messing up your Laptop!

    Windows (C:) = Local Disk (C:)

    It is the drive letter that matters, which is same in your case.

    Drive labels can be different for different computers.
