Good, free photo editing and graphic design program for windows?

I'd like to install some kind of program on my laptop (Windows 8) that lets me edit photos or create my own images. Something similar to snapseed or overgram on the iPhone but more extensive and in depth. It would mostly be used for personal projects and tinkering. Also I have no knowledge of photoshop or anything like that and would prefer to not spend any money.

I don't have insurance and I was wondering if I took it to the apple store will they replace it or repair it over the 1yr.warrenty policy they have? Would I have to pay a fee? How much?
