I also recommend OBS, or Open Broadcaster. You may have bad quality at first but to change it you change your settings to this:
Encoding
Use CBR: Disabled
Quality Balance: 10
Bitrate: 1000
Use custom buffer size: Enabled
Buffer size: 0
Advanced Options
x264 CPU Preset: Ultrafast
Use custom x264 parameters: Enabled
Custom x264 parameters: crf=X
Where X is anywhere from 1-20, lower being higher quality / higher CPU usage. A good place to start is the 15 - 20 range. A CRF of 0 enables lossless recording which will have very high file size and CPU requirements and introduces compatibility issues, so be careful!
(I didnt write that btw, I just didnt want to share links)
If you do use OBS, a .flv player would be helpful, you can use a converter also, but YouTube takes .flv I believe.
For an editing software, I hear Sony Vegas and Camtasia have free 1 year trials, but if you want something free for more than a year, you might be stuck with Movie Maker.
