Answer 1

To switch between windows we have method.

driver.switchTo().window("window name") 

To get the different windows handle, we have method.

driver.getWindowHandles()

Example:

    File file = new File("G:\\Selenium\\All_Jars\\chromedriver.exe");
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",file.getAbsolutePath() );
    driver = new ChromeDriver();

    //Maximize the window
    driver.manage().window().maximize();

    driver.get("http://www.rediff.com/");

    //Get all window handles
    Set<String> allHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();

    //count the handles Here count is=2
    System.out.println("Count of windows:"+allHandles.size());      

    //Get current handle or default handle
    String currentWindowHandle = allHandles.iterator().next();
    System.out.println("currentWindow Handle"+currentWindowHandle);

    //Remove first/default Handle
    allHandles.remove(allHandles.iterator().next());

    //get the last Window Handle
    String lastHandle = allHandles.iterator().next();
    System.out.println("last window handle"+lastHandle);

    //switch to second/last window, because we know there are only two windows 1-parent window 2-other window(ad window)
driver.switchTo().window(lastHandle);
    System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
    driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).click();

Answer 2

    // fetch all windows before clicking on new window link.
    Set<String> windowHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();
    // Click on link to open new window
    driver.findElement(By.tagName("a")).click();  // link to open new window

    Set<String> updatedWindowHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();
    updatedWindowHandles.removeAll(windowHandles);
    for (String window: updatedWindowHandles) {
        driver.switchTo().window(window);
    }
