Windows Directory Tree

In Windows, files and folders are organized hierarchically in a tree structure. Each element of this tree is represented by a path that indicates its position in the hierarchy.

The root of the tree is generally represented by a drive letter (for example, C:\ for the main hard drive). From this root, folders and files are organized into subfolders and files in a tree structure.

Thus, unlike Linux, there is no single root directory ("/") but a set of root directories for each drive. For example, the C: drive has its own tree, distinct from that of the D: drive.
