Step 3. You will Install a Bitcoin ‘miner’ on your PC.It is two types: CPU and GPU.
No, you will install crypto coin miner sw on a PC. Bitcoin is a SPECIFIC coin -- NOT a general term for all coins!

Bitcoin CANNOT be (profitably) mined on a computer, only the plethora of altcoins can be mined using CPU/GPU's.

buy miner and pay electric fee (you must have Knowledge + mining team )
Just for your information you cannot mine btc through your laptop. You will burst your laptop in the process of doing so. Kindly go through different threads to find out more about the mining and you would require the specific equipment, temperature of the room, etc to get started with your mining the btc.

I'm just a newbie here. But how do i exactly mine BTC? some says that a good pc is required.
Actually mined bitcoin with pc there are some steps.
You must create a slushpool with (after login).
There are several things to note as well, for example:
Mining is usually done using gpu or vga, and make sure you also use extra cooling because mining will be done up to 100%.
I suggest you do not use cpu because the result is not maximal like gpu.
* Mining bitcoin also can not be done instantly because it takes time.
* and the resulting bitcoin yield depends on the type of device you are using.
most use asic cards compared to GPU.
If for the problem of the mining process I myself also do not know, because I am also a beginner and learn.
this is just sharing experience only.
thanks

Unless you're a newbie with multiple ASICs ready to go, I'd just suggest using (I assume) your graphics card to mine some altcoins first until you get more comfortable with mining in general. Unless you have a lot of start up capital or access to lots of ASIC hardware, mining bitcoin isn't really worth it anymore.

You could also utilize Nicehash as it's pretty user friendly, especially to newbies. Sells your hashing power to the highest bidder and pays you our in bitcoin directly.

If you are pertaining to mining bitcoin CPU or GPU is not applicable to mine it anymore, what you need are ASIC miners which has more hashing powers than GPUs. But it is hard to have one of those ASIC miners because more people wants to own them.
