Well if you're that inexperienced, you need to start with the fundamentals that give you the foundational skills and knowledge.
I'm recommending studying for A+, Network+ and Security+ using Testout.com courses because they not only have video lectures, they have hands on labs; simulations of the actual technology. These labs will help the information you learn stick. Their are also plenty of practice Exams / and quizzes that include explanations for the answers.
Courses in order
Testout has more courses than this but for the express purpose of learning the basics start with A+, Network+ Security+,
- PC Pro (covers the basics of hardware/ software / role based access control / very basic networking stuff
- Certmaster Learn Network+ (Covers topics related to routers/switches/firewalls , theoretical stuff like the OSI model, and understanding how data traverses a network from start to destination point
- Security+ (slightly more in-depth in regards to securing hardware/software/networks but still at the basic to intermediate level.
They offer a 7 day trial, after that, it goes to $89/month, I'd highly reccommend you use test out as it has everything you need baked into the subscription plan to give you the full learning experience, dont rack your brain worrying about other resources, you're a beginner so start with this.

Far as what roles to aim for for you first job,
Ideally Level 1 SOC or NOC Technician and if youre desperate to just get any job in IT ...Helpdesk Technician/ Desktop Support/ = any combination of these words lol.
Managed Solutions is a 100% remote company with regular openings, If you dont qualify for whatever position you applied to (or recently got filled), they'll at least offer another position.
again, there is no bait and switch with the remote work, its 100% remote, no hybrid, no 1-2 days in the office, none of that.
I got offered a job last year but I passed on it to go with another company I had been holding out for. They usually respond quick too. look into it
