Making the background of an image transparent on a PC

I have a logo on a white background and need it with no background so it sits nicely on a coloured slide. Don't have Photoshop. Can Paint or the Photos app do this on Windows, or is there another free option people trust?

Paint in Windows 11 has a Remove background button now, it does a decent job on a clear subject. Then save as PNG, not JPG, because JPG can't hold transparency at all, that's the bit that trips most people up. If Paint's cutout is messy around hair or edges, GIMP is free and gives you control: Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel, Fuzzy Select the background, Delete, then File > Export As .png.
