Where Windows stores fonts
Microsoft’s Word help identifies C:WindowsFonts as the Windows Fonts folder and describes adding fonts there by dragging in extracted font files: Add a font. This is a useful reference to the system Fonts folder, but Microsoft’s cited guidance does not establish that every installation scope—including per-user installs—stores files there. If your question is whether a font is installed, the Fonts page in Settings is the clearer check.
