I am not a tech guy and I don't understand this article - http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/hardfork.html

Well I would like to know are they update their Windows Wallet application with both type of Bitcoin so the noob users don't have to do anything.
Probably not... Electrum doesn't need to change anything to continue working as designed... it will happily connect to Electrum Servers and retrieve the information as required. If a fork happens and you want to follow both sides of the split, you'll need to do it on your end.

If that is too much trouble for you, then just sit tight... Electrum allows you to have easy access to your private keys... so you can just export them and import them into "OtherSideOfTheSplit" wallet as required to access coins on the other chain if required.
