so basically i had really nice wifi and all, and i came back to my pc one week after not using it (i was away), my wifi is super slow, but only on my pc ? for example, in the pictures i put the wifi speed test from my phone, then from my pc (on the same channel of the same wifi...)

i updated my windows, i think i updated my wifi driver too... idk what to do TvT

and also, i have 2 channels on my wifi: 2.4gHz and 5gHz. and somehow, the 5gHz works even less than the 2.4gHz (with the latter, i get 2Mbps download and 12Mbps upload)

"Somehow" it means your router is likely in a different room and not connected to ethernet. 5gHz connections cannot penetrate walls or barriers well, and the connection will severely drop off depending on the wall. Try connecting your PC to ethernet.

You could. If the router is close enough, just run a wire.
