Answer 2

Sorry but there is no "computer" icon on the desktop side of the Surface RT.  Where do I start?

Answer 3

You can open a File Explorer window and find Computer in the left-hand pane, or (if you have a touch/type cover) right-click in the lower left corner and click on System to get the same dialog.
