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

Someone telling you they know your ip address is akin to them telling you they know your physical address. There are some options of what to do with that information, but most of them are illegal risky and difficult to achieve.
If the person is very dedicated and annoying they could possibly crowdsource some pings to your router or something to cause internet issues, but it’s probably unlikely.
If you are concerned about it you can request your provider provide a different IP address if you have a static IP for business, otherwise they often change as your equipment renews leases from the upstream DHCP provider on your IPSs network.
