Can people with limited IT experience jump relatively straight into digital forensics?

I’m interested in DF as a field ever since learning about it. I’m curious if I need to know a lot about cyber security and IT or if I can pick it up as I go along? Im talking about learning. A lot of the posts on Reddit say that you need to know about xyz well before you can get into “DFIR” but what if you’re just interested in digital forensics?
