What Does 'Root' Mean in the Context of Installing Visual Studio?

Hi

I am trying to install all the necessary files for VS to run games, I just have a very simple question. This is the instruction.

When the download completes, create a folder at the root of the same drive where you installed Visual Studio and name it SFML. Also, create another folder at the root of the drive where you installed Visual Studio and call it VS Projects.

This is where VS is installed: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
Is the root C:\ ?
Does the instruction say to create a folder SFML in C:\. In another words the path of the SFML is just C:\SFML.

Also it said create the folder VS Projects in C:\ where the path is C:\VS Projects?

I just want to confirm I am correct, so far I cannot make it work, I want to confirm I am correct and work on it more.

Thanks

Root means the uppermost level, and therefore, I think you are correct in saying that the folders should go into C:\ drive.

I just want to confirm I am correct, so far I cannot make it work,

If you have already tried putting the folders in C:\ and that didn't work, it means they are trying to mean something else. Can you cite the website from where you are following the instructions?

Thanks, Just want to confirm. I am not good with the names. It's a long process, other things can go wrong, I just want to make sure I am starting on the right foot.

Thanks

You mean starting on the right root?
