I think it is only fair to say we all started somewhere, and at least you are going about it the right way.Feel free to ask anybody advice on this site and I am sure they wouldn't mind at all to help.The best yet is that it is available all hours of the day and for free.Value peoples opinions and advice and you will in turn be respected.

There is also a book that I have been reading a while back called" Pc 's for dummies", don't be offended by the words because it is called that for the simple reason that we are starting from scratch and they assume we don't know anything about Pc's.Believe me it describes everything you want to know in a simple understandable language.They have also brought out many other versions I believe which tackles issues on networking,security,hardware and sofware.

To conclude I can only say enjoy this site because it is a wonderfull experience and you will also make a whole lot of new friends in time to come.
