   The assembler isn't the issue, you're trying to assemble a program   
   written for DOS. You need to find a tutorial designed for the system   
   you're targetting. Which language do you usually write in? If you're a C   
   programmer, you wouldn't expect CreateWindowEx() to work on DOS, and   
   likewise int 21h doesn't work on Windows.   
      
   The assemblers suggested can assemble programs for Windows 10, you've   
   been given good advice.

   Do you mean "beginner" in the sense that you're an experienced Win32   
   developer, but not familiar with assembly?
