Start from scratch on a clean system and consider your existing database
lost. If that is not acceptable then probably should just find someone
locally to do this for you. Your reported setup of seeing a 7.* psql
application on Windows 10 is so far off track that trying to figure out
your unique situation over email seems unlikely to attract free help from
qualified people.

You should understand that as used on these list “psql 10” typically refers
to the server. Since you seem to mean just the command line program you
need to be a bit more verbose here.

People have written many beginner level books on this kind of thing. You
should read a number of them.

Frankly I’d suggest you use VirtualBox to run Linux inside Windows.
Spending some time learning that will go a long way if you plan on picking
up experience with Linux starting from a position of primary Windows usage.
