Asking this because someone who has a beef on me told me that he knew my ip and where I message from.
I’m super ignorant in computer stuff, along with being paranoic about someone messing my computer/Phone up.
What is the worst harm which they can do to my laptop and/or personal information
Thanks for reading

They can’t do much, but the best thing you can do is stop engaging.
Your ip address provides some very general information about your location. Alone, kind of useless. But if someone truly has a vendetta against you, they could take that info, cross reference it with other things they know about you (for example, if you’ve made posts about your personal life including personal details) and then try to find out more.
That’s me really trying to stretch the scenario. If you’re not posting other identifying information for this person to see and practicing good discretion (no clicking on links you don’t recognize, not downloading files from an unknown source), you should be fine.
Not engaging is usually the way to deescalate someone who has said they want to cause you some form of harm.
