HT1420 I cannot find "Authorize my computer".

I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes on to a new computer. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place. Where is the Store menu because the written support commentary indicates that "authorize my computer" is in there. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

Downloaded iTunes 11.1.3; cannot find "authorize" this computer

I downloaded iTunes for Windows, v.:11.1.3
Cannot find "authorize" this computer. Where is this feature?

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

HT1420 First of all, there is no "Store Menu". Second I can't find Authorize this computer.

Intsructions for Authorizing a computer are bad.
To authorize a computer using your Apple ID
Open iTunes
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.
First of all, there is no "Store Menu".
There are Quick Links, which none are "Authorize This Computer"
Second I can't find Authorize this computer.
I can't find it in the footer or anywhere on the iTunes page.
Where is it?

You are looking at the top of iTunes and not the iTunes store homepage ? If you are on a PC with iTunes 11 then pressing Alt-S might get the Store drop-down menu to appear e.g.
