Had a conversation with some friends recently that jogged my memory about claiming those 5 coins back in 2010. I am now currently trying to track down my old hardware to see if I can get at the wallet address that I'm assuming would be on it somewhere?

It took me a while to remember enough to even find this forum, but here I am. Is there any other way of seeing whether I have those coins or any other step/action I can take to locate them or my access to them?

Thanks.

That time the wallets were mainly (or only) desktop wallets, so you need to search your old hard drives for something in connection with bitcoin. (If you find a file called wallet.dat, you're half way there). The other possibility that you have created a paper wallet to store the bitcoins, that's the hardest way to find it, if you have moved or you are a kind of person who usually throw out old things, if so, there's a little hope.
Or, if you have saved your public and private key to a .txt file those days, you can also search for those. (that time there were no malwares looking for your keys, so there were no problem storing them on your hard drive). Good luck!
