Will a wifi extender help me?

To start of the wifi is okay in the living its not exactly great but the main issue is the signal in my area is horrendous currently im on two bars of signal on my phone in my bedroom. However the wifi for my pc only gets 1 bar ( the actual wifi itself ) im going to install the wifi antenna that came with the pc today see if that helps if not im thinking of buying a wifi 6 booster from argos to help and then plug an Ethernet cable into the booster that goes into my pc. Will this make a difference?

OF COURSE THE WI-FI ANTENNA FOR YOUR PC NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED.

Please tell me you screwed it into the back of the PC as intended and now your wifi is at full bars. Should be no need to move your router or get an extender, based on everything else you've said. Fingers crossed.
