I just started gaming on PC. Mobile screen recorders are free, and console has one built into it. I want to record myself playing on PC but most of the recorders I come across are freemium.
With a NVIDIA GPU you already have GeForce Experience which is a console style recorder with the ability to record past things or manual.
I use OverWolf’s Outplayed recording app. Just remember your bindings you set for recording and screenshots.
NVIDIA and AMD both offer recording options baked into their drivers.
Win key + R One of Xbox bar features. Pretty useful

OBS for actually recording. But if you have an NVIDIA gpu and only want bits and pieces of gameplay, GeForce Experience has an overlay that you can save parts of gameplay up to (I think) 30 minutes
Xbox overlay’s also got a recorder and instant replay recorder in there already as well
I’m told https://www.screentogif.com/ is a good tool
What GPU do you have?
Could just use Nvidia Share or Radeon ReLive that came with your GPU driver.
From what I’ve heard, the best option is OBS. That said, there’s also one built into Windows if you just want something simple: Windows Key + G.
OBS, Medal, AMD Adrenaline, or NVIDIA Shadowplay
OBS Studio
OBS is the unsupported and EOL version.
Everybody uses obs.
