Searching for places where your saves might be stored across different PCs, especially since not everything is in the cloud.

Examine both your Users folders.
Username
Documents and Users Public Documents
Recent Windows doesn't permit saving into program folders, yet files can still appear in ProgramData or Users Username.
AppData (you might need to unhide Local, LocalLow, and Roaming folders there)

It varies by game. Each one has its own save location. As noted in the previous post, check the standard user Documents and the AppData folder directory.

The AppData folder is hidden by default on Windows, so you need to turn on the option to show hidden files and folders.

Also, examine the 'C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games' directory. Many games store their saves there as well.

Typically, 'Users\Public\Public Documents' holds save files for most pirated or cracked titles, though some older legitimate games might still use this path. It's not clear about any current releases, but it's worth verifying.
