Video editing software

I second IMovie. It came on my phones and computers, so it's just easier to use what was given to me. It works pretty good too

I heard a lot of good things about Final Cut Pro.

I am a video editor and I can tell you that Final Cut Pro X will blow your face off if you use I Movie.

Any recommendations for Windows users?

As it is my first post here - hello all. 
And as a motion designer end video compositing specialist here's my thoughts on video editing software for our shooting needs:
1. You cen use free and really simple software like IMovie 
2. You can use Final Cut X(MAC) or Adobe Premiere Pro (PC or Mac) - but that's full professional software and I'm not sure that you need to spend money for that if you will use it only as for editing videos from christmass or from shooting range. 
3. You can use Adobe Premiere Elements - much cheaper than Premiere Pro and little bit easier but still you have to spend some money. 
4. And at last - my favorite software HitFilm Express. I used that software before it was free, and now when newest version of it is free - I'm mreaching it to everyone who is not a pro and need good easy and cheap (free) editing software. You can find more on that software here: http://motionfreaks.pl/teksty/newsy/item/961-hitfilm-3-express-zupelnie-za-darmo-dla-kazdego - sorry for that weird language - that is my native language - Polish, and for all of you that don't know polish link from FXHome - authors of that awesome software: https://hitfilm.com/express

I use Cyberlink Power Director. Had this program for years. Use to edit videos when I use to desert race. Still works great with my new hobby

There are still people using Windows? 

Microsoft used to make a cheap knock-off of iMovie that was free. I don't know if they still offer or support it.

Found it:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/movie-maker

FYI: I'm still able to use Windows Movie Maker after upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

I am using Sony Movie Studio 13.0 - I think I paid $30 for it - It was easy to learn.
