Newly created SharePoint site won't let me edit

Greetings, 

 

I'm currently building a new SharePoint site as the company's classic site is from 2011. I am in a virtual machine with access to SharePoint 2019 Management Powershell. Unfortunately, I do not have access to office 365. 

 

I even tried to create a new site but even tho it looks modern the edit button on the right is not visible and I have to use the settings button up top to edit like it were a classic site. I've always worked with Modern sites so classic sites building is a bit confusing. Is there a way to turn our classic site into a modern site. If so, please provide guidance. Thanks In advance!

      Unfortunately, this contained good information however it didn't provide a solution. When looking at my permissions it shows that I have full control yet also states that I am
      denied the following:

      Add and Customize Pages

      Add, change, or delete HTML pages or Web Part Pages, and edit the Web site using a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible editor.
