I'm new to Visual Studio Code, and I have a small question.

Enter image description here

You have two buttons circled in red line. The first button opens the Explorer window and the second circled button opens the Debug window.

I want to have both of these windows open. How can I do it?

This is not possible as of Visual Studio Code 1.13.

A feature request for showing multiple panels was tracked here, but the issue has been closed as as-designed. If you are passionate about the problem, please file a new issue to see if thinking on this has changed in the past year.

V1.43 will have the ability to move various views, like Variables, Watch and Callstack from the sidebar to the panel (it works nicely in the Insiders' Build v.1.43). Demo:

move debug views to panel

See v1.43 release notes: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_43.md#easier-moving-of-even-more-views with a demo gif of dragging views to and from the panel.

and this setting:

We've introduced a new command to make moving views easier with the keyboard: View: Move Focused View (workbench.action.moveFocusedView).

And finally, this is a preview feature. So, in case you get into a state that you can't fix, there is a command to reset all views to their original locations: View: Reset View Locations (workbench.action.resetViewLocations).
