i have a Raspberry Pi 3 that I have not used for 3 years and am a bit rusty on mechanics. I have LibreELEC v 8.0.2 and would like to update. Is someone willing to direct me to or give me basic step by step instructions? Thank you.

I'm a bit rusty on the tech details for v8.0.2, but they could be a chance that you better install a total fresh image onto the SDcard.
Anyway, start here : https://wiki.libreelec.tv/support/update
BTW: the very latest testbuilds of LibreELEC are not yet available for the Rpi3. All efforts have been going to RPi4 for now. So version 9.2.6 is the last release for now for that device:
First do a backup of your current Kodi setup via the Backup/Restore tool. Store the backup.tar file in a safe location.
Download the image file LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-9.2.6.img.gz (the rpi2 image also works for the rpi3)
You can also update the RPi3 with this, but .. technical changes may still need you to do a full image write. My memory is a bit fuzzy on that.

RPi4 performance beats RPi3, but starting over with a clean install on RPi3 is the same effort.
