anyway, you can also check this thread [General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why? if you want more choices and info and feedback from members.
Some of the wallets mentioned in the thread's first post are outdated, for example, Jaxx Liberty, which is no longer available (https://blog.jaxx.io/jaxx-liberty-sunsetting-update/); Cobo Vault, which has changed to Keystone hardware wallet (https://blog.keyst.one/leaving-cobo-to-continue-the-cobo-vault-legacy-29bb2f8f026e).


-snip- if the quantity is large we recommend you to try to get a hardware wallet, for example like Electrum they say so far very safe. maybe there are some other trusted secure hardware wallets you can try.
Electrum is not a hardware wallet; I think you are confused about understanding the types of wallets.


Thank you everyone for contributing and guiding me on this choice, it was a tough choice since yesterday through to today. I stressed my brain before I finally made my choice. I read through your advice and preferences and go through links provided by many and  I did my research online to get more clarity.

In the end, the winner is Electrum wallet. I trust not to regret this but will not buy in large scale at first.
Perhaps some of the following documents about Electrum will be useful:
