Windows 10: How do I display "Devices and Drives", etc., alongside Quick Access in the explorer home...

My explorer home screen only displays Quick access and Favorites. Here's what it looks like. Everything shows properly in the navigation bar - that is not the problem. How can I display drives from 'This PC' or the network directly from the Home screen in file explorer?
