You'll need to download the map, update it locally using the utility (see https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Utility), do manual fixes if needed and the upload it to your own account.

Navigate to your OpenRA directory, press ⇧ and right-click: choose Open PowerShell window here. Type in .\OpenRA.Utility.exe to see a help screen.

What does this mean? Specifically where do I go to open PowerShell?

You can either shift+right click and select the option in the dropdown that opens, or click on "File" in the top left of the Windows file explorer and select "Open Windows PowerShell".

Try using ".\OpenRA.Utility.exe" instead (the ".\" is important when you use PowerShell). Also make sure that the file actually exists in the directory you are trying to run it in.
