PBI Developer Left...Where do I start?

Our sole PBI developer left and now we have requests for report changes....where do I start?  I have access to his laptop with his login credentials. I located some *.PBIX files but not sure if they are the active ones. Pretty sure we had a gateway installed.  My only exposure was when  I was asked write the SQL queries he would execute with ODBC.  I'm trying to work backwards starting with running the report the users are asking about and going from there.

 

I was just given a link to the report https://app.powerbi.com/groups/........

I can see it and run it, how  do I modify it?

That's a tough one, but the one tip I can provide is that if they gave you a link to https://app.powerbi.com/ then you won't be looking for Report Server, you'll be looking for tips on the Power BI Service. Otherwise, this is where you begin:

This particular page will give you an overview from the consumer side:
