// First store the current window instance

String winHandleBefore = driver.getWindowHandle();

// After your click operation which opens the new window

// Below code Switches instance to the new window

for(String winHandle : driver.getWindowHandles()){
driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);

}

// If you want to switch back to the original window

driver.switchTo().window(winHandleBefore);
