How to Save a Document in the Documents Folder on Windows 11

What you need: A Windows 11 computer. These steps use Notepad, which is included with Windows, to type a short note and save it in Documents.

1. Click Start (the Windows logo) on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
2. Type Notepad, then click Notepad in the search results to open it.
3. At the top of the Notepad window, click File, then click New tab. A blank page opens. Notepad can show writing from an earlier visit, so this gives you a clean page.
4. Click in the large white area below the tabs and type a few words, such as Shopping list: milk, bread.
5. Click File again, then click Save as. A window titled Save as opens.
6. In the list on the left side of the Save as window, click Documents.
7. Near the bottom of the window, click the File name box. Click it three times quickly to highlight all the text in it, then type a name, such as Shopping list. Notepad adds the ending .txt for you.
8. Click Save at the bottom right of the window.

Expected result: The Save as window closes, and the name you chose appears on the tab at the top of the Notepad window. The document is saved in Documents.
