HI Dennis,
I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. Yes, you are right that sometimes the search will not bring up the location name I mentioned. This article was written while I was in the process of Creating one for myself so It showed the steps I took to get to the desired result. I would be happy to share another way to find this file.
First: On the desktop look to the bottom left of screen. Here you should see a file folder called “File Explorer”. Click it (Hovering over the icon should say the name)
Second: Look to the top of the screen. Here you will see “Open Control Panel”. Click it
Third: Now under “System and Security” Click the Link “Save backup copies of your files with File History”.
Fourth: Once here look to the bottom Left and click on “Recovery”
In the next screen you will see the option to Create A recovery drive. From this point the article will help finish things up. This is the long way to get there but if your search can not find the file then this is the route you can take.
Good Luck,
Jason S.

One problem with both articles and many others is that they assume the use of Search will bring up the same files on all computers. Why not additionally disclose the name and standard location of the file you wish to use?
