yfi is erc20 token so you can store in any ethereum wallet like metamask. since you have 1 yfi should consider using a more secure wallet like a hardware wallet (trezor or ledger) which will keep your wallet safe from any viruses that might be on your computer.

I thought I needed to put it on the system in order to stake it.

You hold it in an eth wallet, from there you can stake it as you like. Right now staking and yeild are still being determined best to wait for it to be finalized before trying to stake yfi.
