Windows 10: How to simplfy accessing D:\ drive?

I used Laplink's PCmover to transfer as much as possible from my in-use machine to my first dual-drive machine. In doing that, I instructed the program to move data such as the Documents folder to the D: drive. It did that, but it takes more than a single step to get there:

Open file manager, click on D;, which opens with a User folder, click that folder, which takes you to an Old Bear folder (my administrator account on the older computer); click on, you are in the actual contents of the data drive.

What can I do to simplify this: A single click on D: should (or I hope can) do that, but I am not about to remove anything on my own, fearing loss of access to my data files transferred from the C: (boot) drive to the D: (data) drive.

Cannot access D drive since upgrading to Windows 10.

Hello Judy,



Thank you for replying quickly with the status of the issue.



Please reply to few more questions:

• 
  Is the D: drive located on the same hard disk or on different hard disk?
  
• 
  Did you have any important data saved on the
  D: drive?
  

If the D: is saved on another hard disk and you are unable to access it, I suggest you to format the drive completely and check if the issue is resolved.



To format the hard disk, follow the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and select
  Disk management option.
  
• 
  Right click on the D: drive and select
  Format option.
  
• 
  Wait for the formatting to complete and check if the changes are effective.
