Since you mentioned Windows takes up about 27GB and apps another 11GB, this seems within normal expectations, but your total available space is very tight for installing Office 365 and updates.

Windows 11 needs 128GB or larger. Updates will makes a mesa too
Realistically RAM is important too. 16GB is good, 32GB is better.
NVMe is far faster than SATA,
