Ubuntu 16.04 upper panel for applications

[Glenn / Lenny]

Hi,
I installed Ubuntu 16.04 on a friend's computer, and if I do alt + F1, I get some limited applications, but the best ones for him would be the list with the three menus, applications, system, and places.
I get the Unity panel when I press the super key, but that is not a lot of help.
I tried typing in panels there, but did not get anything helpful.
Is there another desktop to install, or how can I tweak this to be more user friendly?

Thanks
