There are some issues involved, since another (valid) windows is already set up on disk 0, D partition. It seems the best option is to remove it to make room for a bootloader partition. What if an unallocated space is made on the left side of the D part using a partition tool, then recovery partitions are cleared and if the D part is actually an OS from the second windows view, can the BCDboot command still generate bootloader files on it? Or is it not possible to have another partition with a different OS in a GPT setup, because only one OS can be present in a GPT environment, unlike multiple OSs spread across partitions in an MBR setup?

Clone D: partition to another drive. It must be taken off Disk 0. You can use the Minitool Partition wizard to copy entire partitions.

Following your advice, I'll remove both partitions and execute the bcdbootloader command. That's the only option.
