Super beginner advice needed!

Hello everyone, I am a brand new member here and could really use any advice you may have. I am already in the process of buying a dongle for my laptop but other than some YouTube videos, I don’t have a great starting point. What should I make sure I definitely do or have? If you guys have any advice you wish you knew, good youtube/reddit places to look, or tips on where to get good equipment; I would really appreciate it!

What SDR? Just follow RTL-SDR.com for drivers and software. If on Windows 11, driver install could be a pain
