Hate to say it, but to monetize and be partnered with YouTube, you need to be at least 13 (also anyone under 18 must have a parent make an Adsense account linked to their bank account)
Also do note: "being big" on YouTube is near impossible now. You would've had to start about 4 years ago, when video game commentaries were something "new". Now everyone does it, and not many people can stand listening to people under the age of 16 or so.
Also note: Don't expect to make money either.
Another note: AC 1 and 2 are pretty poor games nowadays (graphics wise) so if your laptop can only handle those, you're in trouble.
You can't get partnered right after you start your channel. Networks like Machinima, TGN, or IGN will only partner channels with more than 1,000 subscribers and like 300 daily views. There are some unusual cases that they will partner a small channel that has maybe like 300 subscribers if they have really good content.
If you would have 13 years old or more, I would've said "go ahead", but you're just 10. The topics that you're going to talk about are probably kids stuff that only kids would want to hear. Plus it is going to be very difficult to even get to 100 subscribers for you.
Sorry kid, that's just the way it is.
