So nobody is mentioning FPCUpDeluxe?
I happen to be a recent adopter of FPCupDeluxe, and think it is awesome.
But, it is not necessary to answer this question, and will in fact generate additional questions for the original poster that are not helpful.
On a Windows system, with no mention of even cross-compiling, the basic Lazarus 2.0 installation file is all that will be necessary to get the original poster going. I used Lazarus + FPC since 2012 without the aid of FPCupDeluxe on Windows 7, 8 and 10 -- with 32/64-bit cross compiling. No issues. It is a good place for a novice user to start.
