Conductors are any substance that has the capability of transmitting heat / electricity from one medium to another, regardless of phase.
Electrolytes, chemically, are ionic compounds that, when dissolved in a solvent, dissociates into negative and positive ions, allowing it to conduct electricity . (eg. NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl- when dissolved in water)

Hi brothers and sisters , I really hope this answer helps you
An electrolyte is not a conductor by itself, it needs to be made into an aqueous solution, and only when this is done it ionises ( loses or gains electrons ) and can conduct electricity
A conductor does not need ionisation
But another BASIC difference is that electrolytes undergo chemical changes and undergo electrolysis unlike conductors
