Import the CSV files from the folder:

Go to Home > New Source > Folder.
Select the folder containing your CSV files.
Click Combine > Combine & Load.
Filter the first 5 rows:

In the Power Query Editor, select the table containing the combined data.
Add an Index column by going to Add Column > Index Column > From 1.
Filter the rows where the Index column is less than or equal to 5.
Filter the rows from 6th to 10th:

Duplicate the query with the first 5 rows.
Change the filter to get rows where the Index column is greater than or equal to 6 and less than or equal to 10.
