Windows 10: I want a photo editor that's 100% free

Here is another question. I was looking for a good phot editor that also does frames, and retro style pictures. I want one that is 100% free, NO IN APP Purchases. I tried downloading one from the web, and nowit can't be removed from my PC I've asked about this in a separate question. Do you know of any apps like this? It's sad that I have to use my phone to edit my photos when Ihave a BIG PC to do it in, but I can't unless I pay every month or something. Sorry but I'm bitter. I'm stuck with an app I can't get rid of also a separate question

Microsoft has replaced Photo Editor with Microsoft Office Picture Manager, a new photo editing and cataloging program in Office 2010, in Office 2007, and in Office 2003.

If the application has been removed from your PC, when you install Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Office 2007, or Microsoft Office 2003, I suggest you to refer the following article to reinstall
