Set your camera to shoot RAW.
Then import the RAW files to your computer. What software do you have on you computer? What version? And, what camera do you have?
What are you expecting to see by using RAW captures?

RAW meat or?
Raw is only data that hasn't been processed. Jpeg is what the camera #hit's out for you if you lack skill or time ...

As has been said, shooting in RAW is all in the processing because what you get from the camera is sort of like a negative from a film camera--you have to finish it to get anything resembling good.

Not sure if lightroom 5.7 will work with 80D RAW files. That is a very old lightroom. Lightroom 6 was April 2015. The 80d was early 2016.

Shoot both raw and jpg until you master editing. If your stepping up to raw, I would think about updating your LR. Rel will work but for how long as it is not supported?

RIGHT NOW. Just turn your camera to the RAW setting and start.
However, if you do not do any post production, what's the point? In Jpeg you get more images per card and if your exposure is correct, I can manipulate the image in many ways in post.

Personally, I'm disappointed that my camera doesn't clean my house 😇

RAW data from the camera refers to information recorded by the sensor, something similar to using film with a camera that shoots that media. The big difference is the processing of the information and that depends entirely on you.
When you shoot JPEG files YOU set the parameters you prefer in your camera, like contrast, colors, sharpness) and the firmware of the camera takes care of the rest. Depending on the camera JPEG files are of very good quality and require a minimum of editing.
I do not know of your expertise editing files but with RAW data you will have to use that expertise to bring the data to where it will give you all the goodness it is capable of.

NOW! goto your camera settings and choose the highest RAW and JPEG.

Shooting in RAW is as easy as a camera setting and pushing the shutter. rAW is all about what comes after the shot, the processing. I use Lightroom Classic for that. Using LR on a raw file allows you to correct some mistakes, change lighting, get rid of haze and way too many other adjustments too numerous to name. Lightroom Classic, which is continually updated, is an investment of $9.99 a month. There are other free or less expensive programs which I’ll leave to others to suggest.

Read The Digital Negative by Jeff Schewe and you will have some good introductory information. After that, You tube has many LR tutorials.
There is a learning curve.

I want to change my original comment. It's not necessary to shoot both even if you are not edit ready. Just simply load up the raw files and do an export to jpg. You will get what the camera would generate anyway and you still have the raw file to edit when you want to play.
