I found a rather large folder on my computer simply called "Bitcoin", but I can't find a wallet/program connected with it. Anyone know which wallet it belongs to?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

You should create a backup of the file wallet.dat before installing the latest version of Bitcoin Core. Better safe than sorry.

Have you made any transactions with that wallet ever? Have any funds been sent to it? I assume you havent used this wallet since you dont know what the folder is for.
If you dont need a full-node wallet you can also go with Electrum as a light client.

You have to do backup of the wallet.dat before installing the latest version of Bitcoin Core  0.19.0.1. The link to download it is at https://bitcoin.org/en/download - you sometimes see that link in the top left corner of the forum.

Backup, how many backup do you need?

You should make multiple backup of your wallet.dat and use one of them to recover your Bitcoin Core. In case one of your backup will be broken in the recovery process, you will be safe and have other backups to recover it again.

Do you have jackg and LoyceMobile on your ignore list? Because it looks like you haven't read the conversation.
