Start with the hand you use the most.
Learn all of the scales with your right hand.
C Major Scale should probably be first.
If you don't know the names of each key, try that. Correlate them with what you see on paper, so that you're already learning how to read.

Here's the C Major Scale with correct fingerings. I would start on C5 and end with C6.
When I have time, I can look up some fingering and piano charts.
Thumb on C
First Finger on D
Middle Finger on E
Thumb on F
First finger on G
Middle finger on A
Ring finger on B
Pinky on C
And back down.

Try that first.
Then learn your other scales.
Some of the scales have different fingerings, so I'd try to look that up, first.

P.S. let me know a little bit more about how much you know and don't know about music.
I'm assuming you know enough to know how to read.
Correct?
