Getting Started with Siemens TIA Portal Programming

Just started the intro " Getting Started with Siemens TIA Portal Programming". Currently on the “Basic Ladder Logic PLC & HMI programming & simulation in TIA Portal” module.

Its unclear how we get from the “Extended to Download to Device” window (12:17) to the HMI environment screen (12:20)? Dose it happen automatically as the search has been completed as a part of the "Start Search button selection? The tutorial does not provide enough information to clearly get an understanding of this transition. Screen at 12:20 asked us to press “load” but does not direct us to where on the tool pallet, on the HMI environment, this button is located. How did we get from the select Load window (12:20) to the press on “Load” to the load Preview window?

There is some confusion on my part since I do not have TIA Portal Program software to simulate this exercise.
