What kind ow windows do you have and what windows version is the one displayed in the tutorial? :-?

Keep in mind that, even if different in outward shape and colors, the content of the instructions of the tutorial does not change with the version of the OS. ;)

If your scarce familiarity with file manipulation is the primary problem, consider asking to a friend who knows more to demonstrate you how to do. We can do very little over the net, beside giving you suggestions, but to give you suggestions, you should ask precise questions. :)

It might look different, but it is done with the same folders.

I would advise NOT to use auto installers. If they are done exactly right.......you end up with files everywhere and usually problems.

Take the time to understand how to manually install acft., scenery etc.. This way you learn more and can usually solve any problem you run into in the future when installing things to your flight sim.
