Seven years ago, I got on Ten Forums to find a solution for changing Win 10's forcible installation path from drive C to D, and I made it by following a post on Ten Forums saying some certain modification of registry would work. That is, to merge into the Registry this entry：
This solution really works well. I am very happy and thank the forum and the post which, I can not recall exactly, may be this: How To Change Program Files Location In Windows 10 - Windows 10 Help Forums. The solution is on the No.7.
Now I want to upgrade my Win 10 system to Win 11, I guess Win 11's installation path is also forcible to drive C and I hope the same registry change still works in Win 11, or there is a good alternative.

"ProgramFilesDir"="D:\\Program Files (x86)"
