First you need to purchase SSL certificate to use HTTPS. Check with your hosting provider about the same.

First buy SSL certificate and follow there guideline to install on your webhosting. Once you done with share steps, then go to root .htaccess file and Find the code line:

RewriteEngine on

And add this code snipped below it:

# Redirect to HTTPS

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

You can use the free service to generate a certificate. For example, Let’s Encrypt

In terms of validation, free certificates don't differ from paid certificates. You can configure automatic renewal (generation of new certificates) and forget about the certificate in general. Any cheap (or not so) certificate will have to be updated manually after paid. Here is an example of a site on a free certificate from Let's Encrypt: https://www.internetsociety.org/ You can explore the certificate in your browser.
