I just remembered that that tab isn’t always visible.  If you’re running a “home” version of Windows, there’s a pretty good chance you don’t even see this tab.

If that’s your situation, you can un-hide this tab:

That tab can also be hidden because:

- a group policy setting disabled it

- you’re working on a non-NTFS drive

- you’re working on a shared network drive that doesn’t fully support Windows security

etc.
