1) For Windows, TeXnikCenter seems pretty decent, it is free software.
   It works with the MiKTeX distribution of TeX, which should be
   installed first.

2) For either Windows or GNU/Linux, my personal editor of choice is
   Emacs with AucTeX.  It's part of every GNU/Linux distribution.

   To put it bluntly, emacs+auctex beats the crap out of everything
   else, but it requires an effort to enable this power.  For a
   beginner, this can be a steep learning curve, and it is mostly not
   a GUI environment.

There are many more, but either of the above options should do, and
the other options seem strictly inferior.

Thanks,
