From the home Tab you need to select a tpye of family eg component. once you chick on component the Load Family button emerges to the right.

The insert tab.  Right side of the ribbon, there's a category-free button called Load Family.   This will keep you out of trouble when, say, trying to load a window as a structural column, and getting errors that your family is not the correct "type."

So.  Insert - load family.
