[GIMP] How to create a layer from a selection?

Solved
Hello,

I would like to know how to create a layer from a selection?

For example: On the Windows 7 logo, I want to remove the blue part (at the bottom right) so that it becomes a new layer and I can move it wherever I want.

What should I do? I just outlined this blue area with the <<freehand selection="" tool="">> (the lasso), but once I've done that... I'm lost.

THANK YOU!

Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 28.0.1500.72</freehand>
