I have drupal 7.7. I tried to install the admin_menu module, but there is an error next to it:
Requires: System (>7.10) (incompatible with version 7.7)
I have System 7.7. Is there a work around for this? Even if its just another admin menu module (but I would rather have this one)?

The problem is that you are using a version of drupla that is 11 releases behind the most stable release. To use admin menu module you need to update the install to Drupal.
How exactly should I go about
How exactly should I go about upgrading Drupal, without messing up any of my data and settings? I've never done it before.

there is an UPGRADE.txt file included in every download of Drupal. There are also docs, a multitude of previous forums posts as well as videos that can be located with google
in short:
backup your database
backup your files and folders
delete everything except the sites folder and the .htaccess file
upload the new version of drupal except for the sites folder and the .htaccess file
run update.php
test
delete backups when you are confident the site works correctly.
