What version of windows is the laptop running? Windows often comes with (or can manually install if not) "Windows Movie Maker" or similar. For basic stuff it's fine, and free.

I have used Shotcut;

It's free. There is a wee bit of a learning curve but it fine once you are past that...

Lightworks free licence is pretty legit, can do basic drag and drop, cuts etc very easily. Then go basically as fancy as you like if you want. 

 

 

Was using that till hard drive shat itself now just use basic as Windows editor for my Barry vids
