If you want to add an existing .h file, you simply right-click your project in the "Solution Explorer"

If you don't have the Solution Explorer view open, you will find it under the menu item "View -> Solution Explorer").

In the pop-up menu, you then select "Add -> Existing Item..." (Ctrl+Alt+A)

Now you can browse to locate your .h file, select it and press "Add".

Notice the little drop down arrow on the "Add" button. You can use that to select whether you want to copy the .h file to your project, or just add a link to the existing file.

If you want to add a new file, right-click your project, and select "Add -> New Item..." (Ctrl+Shift+A) and select the "Include File" template.
