Just to start off, I would use the basic search function built into
Windows by default.  It's fast and already there.

Click:

Start / Search / For files or folders / (On the left in the green) All
files and folders

Select your hard drives that you need to check.

I would adjust the 'When was it modified" field.

For "What size is it", you could leave this blank, though I would
recommend checking for anything 10MB and larger.

Under "More advanced options" make sure the top 3 selections are
checked to enable "System and hidden files are checked as well as down
to the subfolder."
