I am not a computer engineer or a software developer. I have never set up a server in my life. I want to set up a server on my old computer by watching videos and doing the same things that were done. Is there a video that will tell me how to set up our own server as if I were 5 years old?

It really depends on what you’re trying to achieve. If you’re just trying to install a web server, then I’d recommend downloading XAMPP if you’re on Windows, or if you’re on Linux, you probably already have apache or nginx. To access services on those servers you’re just going to have to find out the IP address of the server, and type it out in the browser (f.e. http://192.168.0.1/my_service). Those services should be available only on the same local network the server is on, unless you do port forwarding.
