Clear and simple. The path for the windows system32 host location is c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on most systems.
On linux systems it is in /etc/hosts so that part makes sense to me, but I have no idea why it is in the drivers folder.
Remember if you want to edit the hosts file you may need to have “administrator access” which can be done by right clicking “Notepad” and choosing “Run As Administrator” and then opening the file with Notepad. Otherwise you might be able to view the file but you will get an erro when saving it. Make a backup before you start
