In Windows 10, "My Computer" was renamed to "This PC" - however it is not
displayed on the desktop by default. Microsoft has gone to the "search for
what you're looking for" methodology rather than the old "choose from this
set of options" plan. So we are expected to click the Start menu, then type
in things like "this" and it will show "This PC" as one of the search
results.
There is a file-folder icon displayed by default which opens Explorer (what
we used to refer to as "Windows Explorer") which will then allow one to
navigate to the top level (C:). Disk usage info will be shown right on that
screen.
