Hoi there. Don't be so negative. If anything, it will just scare people away thinking you don't appreciate their help.
Have you seen Juras' tutorials on animating?

If not, it will probably answer the questions you have.
As for Maya, is your PC underpowered? I believe Maya requires a 64-bit processor and probably some decent graphics that aren't Intel. If you're working on a budget laptop, I can't guarantee anything. As for C4D, doesn't Amnesia support that now? Does C4D export .fbx files? I expect it does; it's a very common format. If so, it probably works.
