2. First find out whether they are physical drives or just partitions on the same drive.

If they are just partitions on the same drive (probably not but possible) you can use a partition program to change the size of the partitions (expanding C and shrinking D)

If it turns out they are different drives, just uninstalling reinstalling on drive D: is probably the easiest method for most programs
but there are also some utility programs you can get that will move some installed programs from the C to D drive for you.

It may be possible for the operating system to move the program for you, for example on Windows 10 see:
