Hello Him,
The first one is a correct 1st conditional - If + present perfect, will + infinitive. (Just remember capital 'I')
The second one is a grammatically correct 2nd conditional - If + past simple, would + infinitive (capital 'I' again) but I am not sure that the sense is quite correct.
Best wishes
Bob
