Normally, there should be an icon with a picture of a phone and the name of the phone. Mine shows a smartphone, i.e. just a screen. and "Frank's Galaxy A51". If you *do* see the icon+name, but no folders/files, that's probably because your phone is (screen) locked. If so, just unlock the phone and follow the prompts, if any. > Therefore I use an app, Cx File Explorer, > for transfering files between Phone and PC.

If the cable is the right one and not defective, it's probably a matter of installing the right USB driver on your computer. The website/documentation of the phone should be able to help you with that. It may be as simple as installing the needed devices/drivers with Device Manager. You should have a phone device under 'Portable Devices' and a USB device under 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' (mine is called 'SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device'). As your old Android 4 phone works, you can use that to compare which devices should be visible in Device Manager, i.e. connect *both* phones, unlock them and compare.
