Answer 1

hit C-x C-f Source: Files Listed in Emacs Find-Files

  • Press Super-Key (also known as Windows-Key) and release
  • type emacs
  • click on GNU Emacs 25 (Ter... or similar
• Press ctrl & x on the keyboard at the same time, then release both keys
• Press ctrl & f on the keyboard at the same time, then release both keys
• type in the folder-path, where you want to navigate

Answer 2

• C-x d opens Dired on the directory you mention letting you perform actions on files that you mark in the list.

• C-x C-d lists the directory. Similar to Dired, but without the possibility to act on listed files.

See the Emacs manual, node Dired Enter.
