I've got an E and a D drive on my PC, but I'm struggling to figure out how to free up some room on the C drive. It's really frustrating because I'm trying to update to Windows 11, but my C drive just doesn't have enough space. If needed, I can share a screenshot of my disk management screen. Any tips or tricks would be hugely appreciated!

You could use Clonezilla to clone your C drive to a SATA SSD. Just create a bootable pendrive, boot from it, and clone over to the SSD. After swapping the drives out, you should see more space without losing anything—if everything goes smoothly!
One option is to change your default program installation location to your other drives and manually move files there. It can be a bit of a hassle since you'll have to adjust all your shortcuts, but it might help. Honestly though, your C drive seems pretty small at just 110GB. Upgrading to a larger drive, like getting a new 1TB SSD, is probably the best long-term solution. I've been there and just upgraded mine recently—it took about half an hour to clone the old drive and install the new one without any BIOS fuss!
Using USB is definitely the way to go for that!
