Re: New User simple question:

If it exists then it is probably in

;;c:/users/USERNAME/appdata/roaming/.emacs

If you are not running windows as Admin then substitute your user name 
as the first subdirectory under /users

Just type C-x C-f and then ~/.emacs

If it's there then that's your init file. If not it will create it.

Then you could add the following 5 lines to the newly created file or 
find examples of .emacs files on the web

;; -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
;; Time-stamp: "2018-03-22 03:43:33 Administrator";;
;;c:/users/administrator/appdata/roaming/.emacs

(message "{{{ --[ Loading my Emacs init file ]--")

(server-start)  ;; to use emacsclientw

(add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'time-stamp)

;; this updates the second line above every time you save .emacs

Good luck!
