How to display "My Computer" icon on a Windows 10 desktop?

Question

I just installed Windows 10 on my PC, but I didn't find any way to set "My Computer" icon to show on my desktop. How can I place it on my desktop?

Is it not the same as Windows 8: Right click desktop -> personalise -> desktop icons? — Kinnectus, Aug 01 '15 at 14:55

Press WINDOWS+R

then type:

rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,Web,0

to open the Desktop Icons Settings and tick Computer

and even easier:

Press WINDOWS+I

click Personalization, Themes and Desktop icon settings

@PeterHandorf is there some way to pin Computer and Recycling Bin to the top left when you have 'auto arrange icons' checked? Auto arrange keeps arranging things alphabetically. – n00b Dec 09 '16 at 18:16
