converting m4a voice recordings to wav on windows

Got a bunch of m4a files off my phone and the editing program I need only takes wav. Is there a built in way on windows or do I need a separate converter? Prefer not to upload them to some random website.

VLC does it and you probably have it already. Media > Convert / Save, add the m4a, click Convert / Save, then next to Profile click the little spanner icon and make a new profile: Encapsulation tab pick WAV, Audio codec tab tick Audio and pick WAV. Save it, choose a destination filename ending in .wav and Start. Audacity works too, but on some installs it wants the FFmpeg library before it will even open an m4a.
