Want to use HDR? - then you'll need software capable of merging 3 or more bracketed exposures to HDR. Sorry but Adobe Photoshop Lightroom can't do that. You could buy the full version Adobe Photoshop CC - but since you have an objection to using software linked to the cloud that's not an option for you - plus it's total overkill and not the best for the job anyway. The best are dedicated HDR software like Photomatix http://www.hdrsoft.com/ , or Luminance HDR (free) http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/
To process RAW you could use the software that came your the camera in the box - it's called Sony Image Data Converter or you can download it free here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=... , or you could buy Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 (around $100), or you could use GIMP with UFRAW (both free) http://www.gimp.org/ - http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/ - or you could use other third party free software such as RawTherapee http://rawtherapee.com/
