Welcome young one ;)

WIthin Bitcoin core there is menu item that is called "receiving addresses" there is a list of your addresses and you can make a new one any time. But you should not mine bitcoins directly unless you have powerfull ASICs. Mining with CPU / GPU is a waste of time / electricty nowadays.

If you don't have specialized mining hardware, I suggest you to not mine.
