How do I change the default section numbering to the format below? I am using Miktex console 2.9 and Texmaker.
I. Section
a. Subsection
b. Subsection
i. Subsubsection
ii. subsubsection
I have tried searching and don't find exactly what I need. I am so new at Latex that I probably don't know what to search for.

Change section number to lettering
A good solution would depend on the class you are using and several other design decisions, e.g., how references to section, subsection and subsubsection should be. A very simple solution for the standard class article (but usually not for the KOMA-Script class scrartcl) would be:
\documentclass{article} \renewcommand*{\thesection}{\Roman{section}.} \renewcommand*{\thesubsection}{\arabic{subsection}.} \renewcommand*{\thesubsubsection}{\roman{subsubsection}.} \begin{document} \section{Section} \subsection{Subsection} \subsection{Subsection} \subsubsection{Subsubsection} \subsubsection{subsubsection} \end{document}
Sorry, but I can no longer participate here as the administrator is trampling on my wishes on one of his other platforms.

Perfect. That got me in the right direction. Saved me a lot of time.
I did change the arabic in: \renewcommand*{\thesubsection}{\arabic{subsection}.}
to alph: \renewcommand*{\thesubsection}{\alph{subsection}.}
to get letters instead of numbers.
