I have no experience with making movies myself, but I asked The Lady Of My Dreams (tm), who occasionally does this and convenietly sits right next to me. ;)

She's using Screencast-O-Matic to capture the gameplay (it's free, puts a watermark in the videos, but you could crop it out if it really bothers you), and OpenShot Video Editor (also free) to mix the videos. You may also be able to use Windows Movie Maker if that's part of your Windows distribution (not always the case).

We can't say if these are the _best_ choices, but it would be a cost-free setup capable of doing what you want.

An easy way to take videos, if you have Windows 10, is to press the Windows button + G. Then hit the record icon. The video will end up in your computers Videos folder.

I used to use a program called Fraps when i created Videos for World of Warcraft. You have to pay for it though. Its a 1 time payment but well worth it if you capture a lot of videos. You can also use Windows Video Maker along with Fraps to present the videos nicely.
