Ok! Sorry for asking stupid questions, but what exactly should i update and how?

Update nodejs. You are currently running version 13. This is not supported. Try updating two version 14 or version 16. Search the internet for install node.js on Windows, there are tons of tutorials.

After node js is updated, you can try installing the serial node again.

After upgrading nodejs you should go into your .node-red folder and run
npm rebuild
which will rebuild any nodes that need it.
Then restart node-red.
