Before getting into fancy editor solutions here let's talk for a bit about Notepad if you are using Windows. Some people will say "dude are you serious". Yes I am, because Notepad is thing that will force you to do stuff manually so if you are beginner and you're doing stuff manually you will learn faster.
All other fancy options in modern editors will help you a great deal but first of all, you need to know why you need them at the first place. In modern editors all kind of help is offered, as syntax check, or basically code completion when an editor is helping you to finish your command.
In a Notepad you don't have that. You are staring at the screen trying to type correct commands and that's awesome - that's how you will learn much faster. But if you don't like this like basic Notepad solution still you can go with any of modern editors, and the best thing, they are mostly free.
One of these editors is Edit Plus. I was using it for a couple of years because of a very simple interface. It's very natural like classical Windows stuff. At the moment, you can use it for free for 30 days. After that, you can support Edit Plus author, or not. It's up to you.
The next thing is Sublime Text. A lot of people on YouTube are using it to record tutorials so that's the reason why I'm mentioning it. Personally I don't use it a lot, I use Atom much more, but some people like how it look alike so it's worth mentioning it. It's free, but there are some pop-ups on a screen every now and then. No, they are not aggressive, they are just there to remind you that you can buy it if you like.
Now, Ultra Text Editor. This is an absolute beast. I remember using this thing two decades ago and actually it is 25 years old. I was using it if I remember correctly for some time when I was learning reverse engineering. In that time it was very popular and I was younger. It's free for 30 days and then you can support company.
Interesting thing, they do have integrated FTP client so you can just get from UltraEdit into your hosting company to upload files, download files, change permissions and so on.
Right. The next thing is another beast which is Visual Studio Code and I completely understand if this is overkill for beginners but the thing is that a lot of corporations are using it because that's like a common ground for all programmers in big corporations. They just want to have one thing handling a lot of stuff.
On the other hand, if you are into Linux and BSD systems, consider using Kate editor. It's absolutely magnificent.
But to be honest, my best advice is just to get Notepad++. You can't get wrong with that one.
