You mentioned basic knowledge of investment. Having basic knowledge is one of the basic foundations to start investing. If you ignore this issue or try to ignore it, you may be putting your valuable assets at risk. It is important to have the ability to buy, how to store or choose a reliable wallet. Even knowing how to use your chosen wallet correctly is part of basic knowledge. If you make mistakes in acquiring basic knowledge, then you are leaving a shaky foundation for investment, the results of which will not be positive at all. Even acquiring deep knowledge after starting investment is important.
Knowledge about wallet security is better placed as the most important thing, even more than basic knowledge because knowledge about wallets is the foundation for long-term investment sustainability.
I think JayJuanGee's post can be read below on your answer to my post above.
What's there to learn when you don't even have any Bitcoin?
However, a beginner to Bitcoin investment doesn't need to have any wallet knowledge before starting to invest in Bitcoin either. The most important thing is buying Bitcoin ASAP when you have the money. And long term investment has nothing to do with wallet knowledge because, as an investor, you just need to make sure you are DCAing on a regular basis with a decent amount you can afford without caving at the end.
Placing expensive and valuable assets like Bitcoin must be serious because it is not the same as gambling which is easy to lose or get big money. Bitcoin investment is not just an investment but has a clear goal during the investment period.
If you are talking about a wallet, the only important thing you should do is keep your seed phrase in a safe place where it can be saved, even after 4 to 10 years it will still be there.
Just like the electrum wallet, you just need to create it and store your seed phrase in a good area inside your apartment (if it's safe for you). As a newbie to Bitcoin investment, you should know how to send Bitcoin because this is another thing you need to learn, but before learning this you must also buy Bitcoin first. Because after buying Bitcoin from any exchange of your choice, you can use it to practice how to send it from the exchange to your electrum wallet.
Actually, Bitcoin investment is not a gamble. That's why you must invest for the long term before you make profits, even though profits are not guaranteed. But by gambling, you might be lucky to win big or lose
