You should create these files at the following location

1. In your WordPress installed folder - may be cpanel or local host (click to see how to install WordPress).  Find the "wp-content" folder. Click and open the folder

2.  Inside the  "wp-content" folder, You will see another folder named "themes". Click and open the folder.

3. Inside the "themes" folder, Create a folder with different name. It may be your theme name or a custom name.

4. Inside the newly created folder, create style.css and index.php

Simple steps :

WordPress Folder -> wp-content -> themes -> create a directory or folder with a name. (For Example :"myfolder") -> create style.css and index.php and save it.

Now you have created necessary files for your custom theme.

/*
Theme Name: Themename
Theme URI: 1wmedia.com
