    This is where they are on my Windows 10



    However , some companies prefer their plugins other places like e.g. C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins and I have noticed that changing that may offend some plugin installations so much that they do not install correctly. Meaning sometimes default is where the install program tells you and other times where program tells you is just something it picked up on your computer , not exactly not confusing , but that's my experience at least !

    Or maybe even better , come to think of it then there is a support article about it ! (just click on the N.A. version and it will unfold the info) (upgrade to N.A. 2 (V3.4.0) is advisable !) :
