How to search

You can right click the Start Windows icon and the pop up window has a search item. The keyword search block is at the bottom of the second panel.

How do you search the pc on windows 10. i don't see where i can look for my files on multi hard drives

Instead of using Windows, you could use Everything Search Tool. This is a free search program with lots of great features . Lots of us on here use it. If you go to his site, choose his latest BETA release, its the best choice. Link below.

That's not Start, it's the Windowskey-X menu, but yes, a very good observation indeed. Like the previous poster, however, I also prefer Voidtools Everything myself. It's faster and seems more thorough for local storage items and elements.

Easiest way I find is to open file explorer navigate to This PC and enter the search parameters in search box, and make a coffee, ( I do have 8TB of storage on this system plus a couple of network attached locations. )

I have added some, but not all areas to the search index so I will often get a warning that the search will take longer because of this.

Obviously I will change the starting position if I have a better idea of the location of the items I am looking for

No it's not - well not in 1607 or 1703. It will appear if you click Start and begin to type something though. Or just use the Cortana/Search box next to Start.

If I right click the start window icon at the bottom left of the task bar, I get a pop up that has a search option fourth from the bottom. If I left click on the search entry, I'll get a secondary panel (Cortana) that has a keyword search block at the bottom. Guess I should have specified that on the first post.
