If you do not have a clue about what you are doing you should consider just upgrading to a new computer.

Your present, if its a Windows 8.1 will be getting long in the tooth now and will probably be at the minimum specs for running Windows 10 and will probably not meet the minimum specs for Windows 11.

If your 8.1 is working generally ok don't worry about it.  It isn't going to suddenly stop working in Jan 23, it's just that MS aren't going to issue any updates for it after then, which won't affect you at all.  And forget about trying to upgrade it and see how best to get another computer with Win 10 or 11.  Lots of used bargains around.
