I am taking a beginner PHP Tutorial and it's asking me to go to the root directory.... and I can't find it.

So my answer is right.

You know your installation point for XAMPP? There must be the (sub-)directory "htdocs". Put the script "hello.php" in this directory and access it in your browser with http://localhost/hello.php .
