Preferably free software and will I need to get an external controller. Been messing with demo version of traktor but it only lasts 30 mins and its pricey to buy.

Mixx is a good free software, get that, see if you like it, and then save up for Traktor. Best way to go about it.

A controller is the best option, using a laptop to mix has very limited controls and I find it's not as fun using a touch pad. If you buy a controller, you get free software with it but it's usually limited, though you get the option to buy the full software like VirtualDJ or Traktor for half price.
