With a Finder window open, use CMD + ~ to move focus to the Desktop, and then use CMD + N to open a new Finder window. Then use CMD + ~ to switch between open Finder windows.
As an alternative, sometimes you may want to use tabs instead of separate Finder windows. To create a new tab in a Finder window, use CMD + T, then use CMD + Tab, (or CMD + SHIFT + Tab) to move between open tabs in a Finder window.

Sometimes I can switch between then using VO+F2 but more often when I go to the desktop to open another volume or folder, the current one closes. How do I open new windows without closing the current window?
