Ok mate I have emptied the second drive onto a USB stick so apart from the small EFI partition it is totally free, so I will try to do a backup with either Macrium or Reflect from the C: drive to the now empty D: drive.The method I've given you is the easiest and simplest way to do it, and with the backup, there is no chance of failure.
Plus, all your current programs and files will already be on Windows 11 when you're done.
Additionally, you can always do a clean install of Windows 11 at a later time if you want.
With backups... nothing is permanent, things can always be undone if desired.
After you do the In-Place upgrade, and get Win 11 personalized as you like, you can make a backup of Windows 11.
Then if you want to go back to Windows 10, you can... or you can just stay on Windows 11.
The in-place upgrade I take it that you mean the one offered through Windows updates? I would rather do that than have to download anything such as ISO's etc
