To switch from one window to another in Selenium, use the `switchTo().window()` method. First, obtain all window handles using `driver.getWindowHandles()`. This returns a set of window handles. Then, iterate through these handles and switch to the desired window using `driver.switchTo().window(windowHandle)`. Ensure you know the window handle or title of the window you want to switch to, making it easier to target the correct one. This method is fundamental for handling multiple windows or pop-ups in your automated tests.
