Does anyone know how to unhide a directory in Win10?

Hi all,
I know there are some techy windows people on here. I'm trying to unhide the appdata folder on a computer with windows 10. But I can't find where the options are to do that. It was simple on win7.
Anyone any ideas?

Navigate to the 'HOME' directory in Explorer. i.e. C:\Users\<your Home Directory name> [Assuming Drive C: is your Drive.]
Right click on the AppData Directory & select Properties in the menu.
The pop-up properties windows will allow you to un-tick the hidden property.
This is the same as on Windows 7 & 8 !!??
Just tried it and it still works.
Let me know if this is different for you.

You can also do this with the attrib command from the cmd.exe commandline.
Open cmd.exe as administrator (to ensure you have rights to change attributes)
Navigate to C:\Users\<your Home Directory name> [Assuming Drive C: is your Drive.] e.g.
c:\Users\Fred
cd C:\Users\<your Home Directory name>
Type the following:
attrib -H -R c:\Users\<your Home Directory name>\AppData
-H = unsets Hidden
-R = unsets Readonly (Just in case
)
