Just do the following:

C-x C-f ~/.emacs

Now, make your changes.

Now type, C-x C-s

Vhalla, you have a .emacs started.  (ie, ~ stands for HOME).

Now, if you want to know where that is, while in your .emacs do

C-x d RET.

Whatever directory you are sitting in is your HOME.  My guess is
that it is at your root, or c:/
