What is good quality software that enables an individual to make a slideshow with photos

What  about POWERPOINT?, I know this is more towards business presentations but has a lot more options than windows 10 photos,

In case you want something else I like the FREE software that NCH has for almost anything you want in this case:

Regarding Powerpoint..

If you want "FREE" Libreoffice - https://www.libreoffice.org - has "Impress" - https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/impress/ - which is like Powerpoint

i would try irfanview :  https://www.irfanview.com/

Paul thanks for the feedback, but on my system it looks different ; see :

btw " toevoegen aan" means  :add to

go to Settings to check the version

Thanks to the experts for your assistance.  Much appreciated.  Once
I use something like irfan view or movie editor in windows 10 are those
photos that are assembled for the slide show deleted from my pictures folder
or is it just a copy and the the photos are still in the my pictures folder?
Thanks,

Thanks Paul.  Much appreciated.  I was kind of worried that the photos are deleted from the pictures folder.
That is good to know.

you can always test by copying a few photos to a temp folder

That is wghat i do if i'm unsure : make a new test folder, and copy some pics to it, then run the software
but in all cases i've seen, the pics stay in the folder, and the slide show creates a new file
