I have recently been getting into using Windows PowerShell. Does anyone know any good free resources to help me progress my learning and understanding?

You may always refer to Get-Help about_. This is really great resource from my perspective about the conceptual topics in PowerShell.
Also I would recommend checking http://www.powershell.org. There is a section with free books: https://leanpub.com/u/devopscollective and free videos: https://www.youtube.com/powershellorg.
Hope you enjoy it! :)

I would just get Windows Powershell in Action. It's the most complete documentation/explanation of its intent.

Videos
I highly recommend watching:
These are the videos which I remember watching long time ago on Microsoft Virtual Academy (currently decomissioned).
Documentation
If you want to learn about specific cmdlet, check it's documentation. To find it you can either use Get-Help or simply search for a cmdlet in your favourite search enging. I personally consider Examples section the most helpful.
On learn.microsoft.com you can also find about_ topics mentioned in Ivan Mirchev's helpful answer.
NOTE: Be careful while checking the docs. Currently most of the articles are showing documentation for PowerShell 7. If you're using different version, there might be small (but annoying) differences.
Another site which I like a very much is SS64.com - it might be helpful for some of the basic cmdlets.
Communities
Here's a list of communities which might be helpful if you seek any help:
- StackOverflow PowerShell tag
- /r/PowerShell
- Microsoft PowerShell community
- PowerShell.org (already mentioned by Ivan)
- Spiceworks PowerShell Forum
