If you've never run a node before, simply take your beat up old laptop and:
Go on bitcoin knots github
Press lateat releases
Install the package relevant to your OS.
Run the application.
Open the config file and write: prune=2000
Let it sync (may take ~1 week)
This is a huge first step and will show you that running a node is not difficult at all, and my bet is that you'll be running a full node after doing this just for fun and out of your own curiousity.
