This Mac User Guide would be a good place to start: Switched from Windows to Mac? - Apple Support


To see your files, you'll need to begin learning how to use the Finder (akin to Windows Explorer). To get to the Finder, click on the leftmost (or top most, depending on how you set your Dock up) icon in the Dock. Your files will most likely be:


  1. Your photos will be in the Pictures folder
  2. Saved documents will be in the Documents folder
  3. Apps (Programs) will be in the Applications folder
  4. Any saved music files will be in the Music folder
  5. Saved movies will be in the Movies folder


Hope this helps.
