Image stitching software

I have some scanning to do to archive various old kit manuals etc and of course, some of the schematics are A3 sized and my scanner doesn't do A3.

Any suggestions/recommendations for image stitching software that falls squarely in the free category.

I've got Paint Shop Pro 10, which I have used in the past, but it complains of being "out of memory" (on a PC with 16Gb memory??) when trying to stitch 2 A4 ish sized 600DPI scans.

Went to install Hugin, but the minute it wanted to shutdown my VPN and start reporting home, it got the boot quick smart.
 
I would buy a cell phone holder (arm) and set the manual in the bench top and take a photo. Use a piece of glass from a good picture (with Antireflection coating) on top of the manual if the manual isn't laying flat. The newer iPhone and Android phone (Samsung or Google Pixel) have incredible camera that can even convert your image to text if you want. Scanner beds are so old fashioned.
 
Good idea, I've got a new-ish Samsung.

Luckily, all the schematics are on seperate unbound sheets, well the ones I currently want to do anyway.
