You're trying to move Windows 10 from your old SSD to a new SSD, but you want the new SSD to be connected as drive D. If you just connect the SSD and install Windows 10, it should appear on your C drive by default. To have it on drive D, you'll need to format the new SSD as a secondary drive or use a partitioning method that assigns it to drive D.

You want it included in the final version because it’s important for the project’s success.

It's likely that "C" refers to the installation drive where the operating system is set up, due to old conventions.

It's not great being on my C drive. I used D as an example.

This will damage all software on the drive that isn't portable, likely including Windows.

I've run the operating system on D: several times, mainly during the XP period. I don't remember exactly how it happened. It didn't cause any issues.

Throughout my attempts to set up Windows 10, I never encountered a way to assign different labels to partitions within the installation process.

Label the drive as "D" prior to installation (or modify all C: mentions to D: afterward). This should work.
