Transparent image help in Paint

Trying to combine images on paint because it's the only image editing software I have, and I don't want to spend money on photoshop. Problem is, whenever transparent images are copied and pasted into paint, they show up with a black background instead of
not having one. Is there a way to fix this?

 

MS Paint Paste Image Problem

Paint left white artifacts around the edges of an image pasted onto another image. How can I get rid of these?

Specifics:

I have Windows 10, latest update (today) with MS Paint on a PC

1. Trimmed part of an image using the background color set to white with the eraser tool

2. Selected all with transparent selection active

3. Copied image to the clipboard

4. Opened another image and set selection type to Transparent

5. Pasted original image. It left white artifacts around the edges of the pasted image.

 

Is copy/paste of transparancies in paint gone?

I'm trying to create a collage like image, but it seems the "transparencies" from a "free form select" wont copy between 2 open paint windows in W-10.

Is this a case of "won't any longer"?

Is it time to shed the Paint program for the extra disk space?

I have done multiple transparency work in W-7 paint before.

Am I missing or forgetting the trick I used before?

Paint is pretty useless without this simple feature.

I have more powerful drawing tools in freeware that isn't even a graphics program.

And I'm not buying anything so save the key strokes on those suggestions, thanks.

(But changing those files is a small pain.)

Also on the category questions for posting you have added choices to "windows version " that are
not versions. "Apps for W10" in "versions" should be in "Windows topics".

After much searching with version on W-10, I got lucky and noticed.

I should post this in security just to equal the nonsense of that choice.

"Windows Version" should only have various windows versions listed.

An edit to the title "Program Versions" would be more inclusive. and looking there becomes intuitive. (pre-windows IBM commercial art major, top of class 2 years. YOU are slacking)
