On windows it is usually stored in the %USERPROFILE%\ssh or %USERPROFILE%.ssh folders.
However I do not see the ssh folders when going to %USERPROFILE%. Is it possible to create the ssh folder and the known_hosts file myself?
Windows 10 SSH folder and known_hosts file is missing

Yes, this is expected.
You can in a CMD do:
cd "%USERPROFILE%"
mkdir .ssh
From there, assuming you have ssh-keygen in your PATH (which is included in Git For Windows for example), you can type:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -P ""
That will generate a key in the default path ~/.ssh(/id_rsa[.pub]), with ~/.ssh being translated in %USERPROFILE%\.ssh
