Could someone point me to total beginner (like only used windows) self hosting primer? Don’t even know what kind of machine I would need.

You can start by experimenting on your current computer. Install docker, get some service that sounds interesting, and just access it on localhost. You’ll miss out on anything the service does overnight or downtime, and you won’t be able to access it from off-site, but it’s a fine way to wet your toes and see how it goes.
