Similarly, you can look for your data files using File Explorer.
Open File Explorer from the taskbar or right-click on the Start menu,
choose File Explorer and then select a location from the left pane to
search or browse.
Go to the drive where you store your data (on a basic setup it would be
C:\) and search (top right search panel) for ".fdb".
All your Legacy data files will show up.

At the bottom of my screen to the left (on my computer it looks like a
magnifier) on the computer I have a search field where I can search my
whole computer for whatever,
if I search there for *.fdb I get a list of all fdb files I have on my
computer.

I do know my way around my computer, and that is a totally
unnecessary and nasty thing to say. I did click on the link for
lost files, but because I now don't have Legacy 9 or 10 on my
computer there is no blue circle or any Legacy screen to find any
files. I have often used the list of files before to find the
right one, but when there is no legacy screen at all, that is
impossible. I would have thought you would understand that.
I have sent an email to support, and let's hope that they reply
without any snide comments!

Sarah,
Go back to the article I mentioned before re finding a lost
file. Here's
the link again.
<https://legacyfamilytree.com/help-center/?a=I-lost-my-family-file---id--K-I9BVL_R5SkFN6sY2Vaeg>
It will be there somewhere. When you find it, since you don't
seem to be
good at finding your way around your computer, put it in the
Legacy
default folder for data where the Sample file is, since you
seem able to
find that. ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data\ folder.
Then set Options > Customise 1.2 to open your file automatically.
Save your data backup zips to a Google Drive folder and make
sure you
know how to use your data backup with File > Restore File.
In the backup dialogue you will see you can set the folder for
backups.
