Thanx

Try looking through your notifications (pull down the bar at the top of the screen) for one that says something about your phone being connected via USB. Click on that and you'll get a bunch of options on HOW the phone should connect. The one you want is MTP. Once you have selected that, your PC will probably install drivers for the MTP mode and thereafter you should be able to get access to the files on your phone via the icon in My Computer.

Here's some screenshots of the process. Note here that instead of being called MTP (as in prior Android releases) the right option to select for the current version (aka "Nougat") is the "Transfer files to another device' selection.
