New PC and can't find AI images from old computer

Hi,

First of all, I am totally not tech savvy so I apologize. I had Microsoft Surface Pro 4 that went all pixelated on one side and needed to be repaired. I sent it in and they couldn't repair it so I got a replacement Surface Pro 6. I got Best Buy to do complete data transfer from my old PC. I am now just downloading Adobe Illustrator and signing in and cannot find any of the images/designs I made on my previous computer. They were all saved and backed up so I'm curious where the heck do I find them? Someone told me that once I signed back into Illustrator all my files would be on it still. Like I said I am basically clueless and do not know what I am doing lol. Any help appreciated

Need those files!!!

Thanks

    If you saved files to the Cloud, yes you can sign in and find them via the cloud. But if Best Buy did a file transfer, I assume that they actually put your files onto your new computer somewhere. I would do a search on the computer itself to find them. Here is an article about files on the Cloud:https://helpx.adobe.com/document-cloud/help/files.html
