All Versions. Note that the downloads in the list below are for getting a specific version of Forge. Unless you need this, prefer the links to latest and recommended builds above instead.
There may be scenarios in which you would want to access your game files directly, such as to back up or transfer a world save, or to modify files. The following lists how to access your game files directly:
Minecraft: Java Edition

The file to run the launcher is wherever you put it. This may or may not default to your desktop or downloads folder. The remaining launcher files can be found by starting the launcher, logging in, going to 'Launch options', choosing a launch configuration from the list ('Latest release' is the default) and clicking the little green arrow to the right of the 'Game directory' option.
Windows computers
Press Win+R, then type %appdata%.minecraft, then press Ok.
OS X
In the Finder, from the Go menu, select 'Go to Folder', then type: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft, and click Go.
Linux
~ is your home directory, usually /home/YOURNAME, so ~/.minecraft would be /home/YOURNAME/.minecraft/.

This question already has an answer here:
- Where is the Minecraft Windows 10 folder? 2 answers
I downloaded a map for my Minecraft game (I have Minecraft Windows 10 Edition) but it won't show up in the actual game. I looked up how to download maps onto Minecraft Windows 10 and it said that the .minecraft file would be in %appdata%. I searched that in the file explorer in downloads but it's not there!

So because you are on Minecraft Windows 10 Edition, I doubt the map will work as it is probably for the main release of the game. Anyway, if you really want to try or are just curious where the directory is, I found it in C:Program FilesWindowsAppsMicrosoft.MinecraftUWP_(long string of letters and numbers)
Minecraft Libraries Folder Download
The problem is that WindowsApps is not only a hidden folder but was very hard to get into. I ended up transferring ownership of the folder to myself in order to gain access. I tried on another computer and didn't have this problem. If you don't feel comfortable messing with system files, don't bother unless you're feeling brave because, although slightly interesting,access to the files is kind of useless to you because the map probably doesn't work on this version. My guess is it requires the full Minecraft release, available from minecraft.net
So to answer your question: There is no .minecraft folder for Minecraft Windows 10 Edition as it is a different game from the original one. Installing your map is a complicated process and the map is most likely incompatible with your game.
