Same app, different window
On the Mac, ⌘` (the key above Tab) cycles through the open windows of the app you're already in — handy for two Word documents or two Finder windows. Add ⇧ to go backwards.
On Windows
Windows cycles whole apps with Alt+Tab; to move between windows of the same app, click its taskbar icon or hold Ctrl+Alt+Tab for a sticky picker.
