Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
Well yes
Windows essentials that has Movie maker that is free and pretty good and you might actually have it already installed ?
Look at Start button and All Programs all the way at the bottom.
Other third party ones is Audacity I've used in Linux but there is a windows version too just watch out where you download it from and carefully watch out during the install for crapware being bundled into it like All CNet downloads

is there a truly free video and audio software?
Sure, both playback and editing.
With varying capabilities. Some easier to use than others.

For simple video edits like cutting out a section of a movie clip, removing TV ads etc, Avidemux is quite good. If you cut on I-frames, there's no recode - so fast and lossless. Despite the name, it also does mp4 and mkv. I use it a lot to boost audio in a movie (leaving video on copy). Doesn't do fancy stuff like cross-fading etc.

Audacity is free. I don't know of a better free audio tool.
What do you want to do that it cannot do?
