There are two main ways to do this.
You can connect a USB cable between the camera and laptop. To open the files, treat it like a flash drive you would normally open when looking in the "My Computer" interface on the laptop.
If you do not have a readily available USB cable, you can also try removing your SD card from your camera and inserting it into the laptops SD port, located on the front of the laptop. If it does not automatically open, use the "My Computer" interface to find it, and manually open it.
