Sorry for the noob question but how do you decrypt a SHA256 hash?

The hash is not for decryption. It is for checking the integrity of the downloaded file.

You don’t decrypt a hash, a hash is used to verify integrity of a specific content. You can use several programs to create a hash of the files you downloaded, and compare it to this person’s hash to see if they’re the same.
