This article covers one of the simplest things one can do in Windows. Learn how to find file path in Windows 10 for your every day usage.

Windows 10 is a mixture of the simple and the powerful. Oh, did I mention beauty somewhere? If not then yes, beauty as well. These 3 words were what Microsoft developers were looking for when they were scratching their heads while trying to develop this OS. Simple because users prefer what is simple. Powerful because power attracts users like magnets. Beauty because you will simply go for something beautiful over something not so… dashing.

The world is an extremely diverse habitat. Just like birds have thousands of species, users tend to have thousands of tastes as well. Microsoft wanted to develop something that could hide the complexity of what was happening underneath the hood and provide an interface that was as addictive as Stronghold Crusaders or DOTA. Windows 10 is lingering somewhere around this podium trying to do its best to cater the hunger of its growing users.

Windows 10 has tons of features. From the most simple ones such as the ability to change titlebar text size to the more complex ones e.g. empty recycle bin on schedule, Windows 10 has it all. This article focuses on one of the more simpler features of Windows AKA find file path. So, why do you even need a file path?

The file path refers to the exact location of where a file lies within your computer. Just like your exact address is, for example’s sake, house number 250, Street 10, F-8 sector, front of Centaurus, Islamabad, Punjab, Pakistan, Asia and Earth. The file path similarly keeps a track of each and every folder, the folder you are looking for, is placed in.
