I'm a hobbyist digital artist and have had to do a handful of graphic design projects for my mundane, non-art-in-anyway job.
As our computers are locked down Windows PCs, I've had to manage with MSPaint. It's always taken me double the time as on any other program or app, and I have been wishing it had layers for years.
Since this update is Windows 11 only, I'll have to for my company to upgrade, so I can look forward to layers in maybe 5 years.
I recommend Krita, it's free and open source, and very good at making digital art of any kind.
The commenter you replied to literally wrote the computers are locked down, ie no way to install any new software.

There's a portable version that might work.
I've never experienced this, I've only experienced that you cannot do anything you need an admin for, maybe the control panel and settings app were removed from sight.
