ZTE Trek 2 K88 - updating from Jasmine?

[ms2000]

I am a newbie to Android.
Mine is still on Jasmine so becoming incompatible for Play Store Apps
I finally did the B33 update via SD card - iso now 6.0.1,

Which firmware/ROM or whatever will fix my issue optimally?

Is thee a video?

Most instructions say "Download GAPPS if desired." - what is this about?
How to sideload?

If u Format/Wipe data and your install fails, your device will not boot

How do you find which version of ANDROID is installed
And is your ZTE K88 from AT&T - I like to install a clean ANDROID (minus ATT Bloats).
TIA
