In previous versions of Windows, if you launched an Explorer window, you would find yourself at a list of your drives and some basic libraries. In Windows 10, there’s a new “Home” section of Explorer that acts as a default landing page when you open a new window. This window shows any locations you’ve designated as Favourites, as well as your frequently-used folders and recent files.
You can access this new Home location from the sidebar in any Explorer window. While that’s a little redundant if you’re trying to access favourites, the quick way to reach recent files and common folders could prove invaluable.
