What is the location of the keystore file in Android Studio?

I just recently found out the importance of backing up the keystore file in Android Studio. I have two apps published using this computer. Both times I simply used "Generate APK" in Android Studio Build drop down. I would really appreciate some instructions on where exactly can I find the keystore file that Android Studio used to sign those apks with and what else do I need to do to be able to publish updates to my apps from PC's other than this one. Thank you.

Go To: Build -> Generate Signed APK

Select APK.

You would then be required to choose an existing keystore path or create one if u don't created it then create a new one... after that Go to Project Structure and set the keystore path that you have created... hope it works
