You can also use buffers.
After having multiple files open (either by passing multiple files to
vim when starting it, or by using :e </path/to/file.extension> after Vim
has already been open), you can do:
:ls
And you will see the open files, prefixed with a number.
To go to a specific file, you can do:
:b<buffer-number>
There are also keyboard shortcuts but since I don't use them, I don't
really remember them.

Greetings I am learning Vim (Windows 10) It is of no use to me unless
I can effortlessly edit multiple files w/o a mouse I learned of tabs
but am surprised I can see no way to select any tab of my choice I
assumed each tab would be identified w/ a number so one can merely
type something like ":gototab3" let's say to edit the tab so labeled
But when I enter ":tabedit" multiple times all I see is each tab
labeled "[ No Name ]" w/ no further distinguishing mark upon it I do
not wish to step through a series of tabs to reach my intended
destination I prefer random access not sequential Furthermore one
horizontal line of text of course offers finite space I saw no mention
in the Help file as to how Vim responds to the situation of more tabs
created than will fit Of course upon experimentation I observed the
result The Help file offers no guidance of course as to how to scroll
the list of tabs in such an instance Furthermore I do not see why Vim
does not offer filename completion when entering a file name for
editing and provide the ability to scroll up/down the list of file and
directory names relative to the current directory or relative to the
directory entered Furthermore Upon merely starting Vim and resizing
the console window it crashes - Cheerio
