I've used emacs for years, and on a Windows system. I downloaded emacs from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ and unzipped it locally.

I copied my .emacs file into %USERPROFILE%\.emacs and started emacs.

My .emacs file was not loading. I added 

(debug)

As the first line of the .emacs.el file and the emacs debugger did not start so I know the file was not loaded.

I searched for other questions like this but didn't find this question asked.

    Have a look at [(emacs) Windows HOME](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Windows-HOME.html) – npostavs Nov 02 '18 at 16:44
  • I'm find with this being a duplicate and I added my answer to the other question. My question and the other one are two sides of the same coin. **I knew where my .emacs file was but didn't know why it was loading**, the other question **doesn't know where the .emacs file is and wants to know where it is loaded from.** – PatS Nov 02 '18 at 21:48
