Quick answer
The source opens File Explorer, reveals AppData through View > Show > Hidden Items when needed, then enters Local and follows the shown game folder to Saved Games and its Windows configuration folder. It does not provide backup or editing rules.
Guide briefing
Find the Windows Save and Config Folders Shown by the Source
Use File Explorer and follow the source's visible folder trail instead of guessing a typed path. The video starts at AppData, explains how to reveal hidden folders, then moves through Local to the game folder. It separately shows a Saved Games destination and a Windows configuration destination; this guide does not add unsupported backup or file-editing instructions.

- — Permission to view hidden items if AppData is not visible.
- — The source's folder screen available for visual comparison while you navigate.
Applies to
