Thanks for the feedback, Files shows this in Home, This PC is for Windows File Explorer.

As Josh mentioned, this overview is already available on the Home Page.

Thanks, and sorry I did not check properly, but can it also be available only on this pc since it is the more intuitive place for all of those who migrate from the original file explorer, and many don't really use the home page in the original explorer and directly use the side nav bar to navigate, thus missing that

This PC isn't on the sidebar in Files by default you would have to add it the pinned section which many don't do.

The Home Page in Files is designed to replace This PC. It's also accessible from the sidebar so it should be a smooth transition from File Explorer. If there is something missing from the Home Page, please let us know.
