you can use angry scanner in the range 192.168.137.0 - 192.168.137.255 or 192.168.100.0 - 192.168.100.255, etc depending on your network. pi has hostname pi.local…
personally i use findPi on the play store (an android app) start ssh connection
download putty, a popular ssh client
make sure ssh is selected, let the default port (22)
enter the pi hostname or ip address found
default user is pi
default password is raspberry
if successful, you should be directed to the pi command line interface !
