Windows 10 calls them Libraries. Open your explorer and it's in the left sidebar. You can create new ones to group files and folders together regardless of where they physically reside.

They are already used by Windows to provide the major Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, etc. locations.

So this is what you’re going to have to tell users to do to enable them in Windows 10.
