Now the next problem. Clicking my pc in file explorer brings up 5 folders "admin$" "C$" "D$" "IPC$" and "users". I'm not sure where to go to find the .apk files I saved.

You have to Share the folder where your APKs are stored. Find the Folder using Windows Explorer and Right Click on it and select Share. From the pull down Menu you can select specific users or Everyone. For the Fire Everyone should work.

The safest method is to have ONE Shared Folder and turn on sharing when you are ready to sideload files to the Fire and then Right Click and select Share and Stop Sharing to prevent external intrusion. However, if your wireless network is password protected with WEP or WPA (preferred) then the chance of intrusion is relatively small and you should be able to leave the shared folder on.
