I can't stand when games do it. Just put the files in a designated folder where the game is installed dammit!

I'll meet you halfway: I created a new folder in the hidden folder %AppData% --> .NameofPublisher --> GameName

In C:\Program Files? Or C:\Program Files (x86)?

C:\Program Files\ unless your program is 20+ years old and you still haven't written a version for modern-day systems. 32-bit is dead.

Let's take a look at the old ssd...

C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games
C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy
C:\Program Files (x86)\Hearthstone
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\

etcetera

We’re walking about Windows, here. If 32-bit ever dies on Windows, it will be lovingly stuffed and placed on the mantle like a pet whose owner can’t admit it’s gone.

Please don't mix executables and data created by applications, even if the application happens to be a game. Those are supposed to be separate. That being said, "Documents" is obviously the wrong place for save game files.
