Windows 10: Enabling Recycle Bin for a SD Card

Hello,I have an SD card D drive which I kind of use as permanent storage in my Laptop. The file system of the SD card is NTFS. When I delete files in this drive, they do not go to recycle bin and are deleted permanently. How can I change this behavior so that the deleted files will go to recycle bin? Is it possible in windows?Thanks. PS: I do not want to use any third-party software to achieve this.
