I'm not very techy either, perhaps you could use this as a starting point....

The trouble is on here sometimes you'll ask a question and get the briefest and most perfunctory answer possible, which is often contradicted if you seek out other sources of help.
Best reading round as fully as you can and then decide.

To answer the OP ... you don't need to buy any of the AV/Security suites. Whether you should have a security suite depends on how click-happy you are ... if you're in the habit of clicking on anything that appears in front of you then a security suite may be a consideration.

As you are asking the question OP, you obviously don't need to pay for any protection. To do so would just be wasting your money.
As has already been said, the built in protection in W10 is fine for normal usage, or, any of the free offerings from the main providers.
Common sense is the best AV out there and be sure to keep your system up to date.
