I have a computer on which both Linux and windows are present. I installed Linux because the computer wasn't working on windows. However, when I installed Linux none of the files were transferred from windows to Linux although during installation it suggested otherwise. So, I want to know how to transfer the files from windows to Linux.

Your windows files will be on a separate drive or partition.
You should see this drive/partition under the device section of your file browser. Clicking on it from there should either open it or mount it and open it.
If for some reason you don't see it there automatically, you can check your connected drives and partitions by running applications such as gnome-disk-utility
.
From the Ubuntu Launch button type disk
in the search field. The left panel will display all your connected drives. You can select a drive by clicking on it. Then on the right you'll see the GUI of the partitions. You can select the desired partition. Once selected (mouse clicked) you'll have an option to mount it by clicking the play button (it looks like a triangle). Once mounted you'll see it listed in your file browser.
You can unmount it by clicking on the stop (square associated with it).
sudo fdisk -l
output, in an update to the question.
