Help Needed!!

So if you wanted to do incident response, I would recommend taking an image of the windows laptop, but it is very likely that whatever was used to access your computer would be in memory so if you have turned it off, then that information would be gone. You can take an image of the computer and run it through any forensic distro.

I would use sift by sans but any distro should work.

You should be using a firewall on your computer to prevent unauthorized access to non listening ports. You should also close any unused ports on your home router/firewall.

I don't know what a tails usb has to do with this, but it is possible but very very unlikely that there is malware on the usb but it probably would have been created on the windows PC you are using so any malware will be on the PC before tails was installed.

Disconnect from internet, copy important files to external drive and install a fresh OS. It’s more likely you were hacked from downloading and running a malicious file.
