On a computer with Windows 10 operating system, you can lightly edit videos using Photos application (install "old photos application / Legacy Photos add-on" from Photos application settings to install video editing features). For a more thorough editing, you can purchase a video editing software. Adobe Premiere and Camtasia are the recommended programs. Shotcut is a free video editor, you can install it to your Windows PC from Software Center. Screenpal software is mainly used for creating subtitles but it can also be used for light editing and creating overlays for videos.
