Apologies if this is documented somewhere obvious, but I am unable to locate where I should place .emacs file in windows.
There doesn't appear to be an emacs.d folder

It is hard to tell where the HOME is under MS-Windows. By default (no HOME environment variable defined), Emacs will try to use c:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Roaming as HOME and the .emacs.d will be created automatically when Emacs is run.

There is no need to know where the HOME is, simply C-x C-f ~/.emacs.d/ RET will bring you to the location.

Please see the manual for more information:
