in case this was already asked, please be patient I am not a techi and the whole stuff is hardly for me to understand. Can I simply now transfer my bitcoins from electrum to a new wallet and then I can see my BCH? Or how will I be able to see my BCH?
You don't even need to do that much. On my Windows Electrum wallet, I just downloaded the Windows Electron Cash executable (there's no installer as far as I know). When you run Electrum you see your bitcoins (BTC), when you run the Electron Cash executable, you see/access your BCC (aka XBC, BCH). Be sure to check the SHA1 file hash when you download Electrum Cash.
One thing to note, there does seem to have been an oversight during the release of Electron Cash and it sometimes will start up connected to the legacy Bitcoin block chain instead of the new Bitcoin Cash block chain. If this happens, follow this guide:
