You have to run aws configure to have it create the ~/.aws directory.

.aws hidden directory so you need to write command ls -a. This command will provide all hidden folders.

Also I found that .aws folder gets created in the adminstrator account(user) so just take that into account while working ,as if you don't have admin power then login through that and then check like in C:\Users\Administrator.aws
