Well, there is your answer and pretty much what I was suspecting. When AutoCAD LT 2012 came out, Windows 10 was not released, I believe AutoCAD 2015 was the first that was supported. IIRC, you will need to adjust your screen resolution and probably a few more things to address in Windows 10, maybe using DirectX 9 instead of the latest DirectX on Windows 10. There is a chance a different Graphics Driver might help. You would be best searching on the Windows 10 Forums. The biggest problem will be future updates of Windows 10, they tend to do strange things to older programs in my experience, I reinstalled Windows 7 on one of my computers because of that. You might look into Longbow software or getting a newer AutoCAD or AutoCAD substitute like Draftsight or BricsCAD.

Unless you are already working with AutoCad or taking classes, go with a generic one and modify it to suit your current needs AutoCad is hard enough without that extra load. Besides, you need to know how to make lines, rectangles, text, Mtext, ... etc. before you can make a template. Templates are not that hard. You just need to know what size paper you are using, and how to make the text and lines you need. An employer, or a class structure will either show you their proprietary template, or teach you how to make one.

What line of work are you in? I'd suggest creating your own template file with all the settings, linetypes, text, dimension, multileader styles, etc. that will support what you do. Yes, it will take some time and effort. However, the investment, over time, will pay off.
