I updated my computer from windows 10 to windows 11, now I can't find my computer like I had with windows 10. Any ideas?

    In Windows 11, the way you access your computer and its contents has changed slightly compared to Windows 10. Here are some steps you can follow to find your computer and access your files:

    1. Open File Explorer: You can do this by clicking on the folder icon in the taskbar or pressing Windows + E on your keyboard.
    2. Access This PC: In the left sidebar of File Explorer, you should see an option labeled "This PC". Click on it to view your drives and folders.
    3. Pin to Quick Access: If you want to make it easier to access your computer in the future, you can right-click on "This PC" and select "Pin to Quick access". This will add it to the Quick Access section at the top of the sidebar.
    4. Use the Search Bar: If you're looking for specific files or folders, you can use the search bar located at the top right of the File Explorer window to search for them directly.

    These steps should help you navigate your computer in Windows 11 as you did in Windows 10.

    The answer did not help me find my computer and didn't put it on the task bar.

    Is Windows 11 supposed to be a new and better version, or just new

    My Computer was shown on older Windows versions.

    In Windows 11, it is called "This PC".

    Press Windows + E, in left navigation pane, you'll find This PC.
