From the welcome screen, you can open a folder on your computer by clicking the Open... link
Usually you don’t have this “welcome” screen enabled, and you use the menu File -> Open folder....

This opens the folder in a new window, for example here I opened an empty testing folder:
If that folder contained files, you’d see them in the Explorer sidebar. See? The little icon in the Activity bar is now highlighted, it means you’re in the file explorer.
