If you have bracket shot u will want to link them if they r shot on a tripod, if handheld then don't link them.
I don't have the non-pro version, so if you have HDR / fusion then go to that tap once you are happy with the orientation and placement of the pano in the viewer, you can drag your edges into the pano to define the crop. Then it's off to the HDR/fusion and pick your poison :-)
This is a very simplified explanation :-) there are guys here who does magic with this program, hopefully they will chip in and give you a proper explanation
Good luck and welcome
