Create a folder on D manually and call it Games Installed on D (or whatever you like). That is where Origin itself, the game, and its packs should be directed to install. You can't direct an install to just plain D as the system tends to not allow that, there must be a subfolder first.
Origin is supposed to be able to manage mixed disc/digital installs, but it often enough doesn't do a very good job of it. If you must have an Origin controlled install, it's usually much easier to have all digital if that can be arranged. Can you not access the packs you have on disc by way of Origin, or are they not registered or able to be registered to your account?
Shifting the entire Documents folder over to D, which is what you will want to do since you have a small SSD for C, is about the same on Win 10 as its predecessors but I guess that's not much help if you don't routinely do this. Sorry about the "dummies" link, but they do provide good illustrations over there.

On the prior question, TS1 and 2 would not tend to kick up so much GPU activity that runaway fps rates become an issue. There are other challenges in getting TS1 going on Win 10, and TS2 as well unless you have Origin refreshed collection version that they released a few years ago. Those who hang out on the TS1 and 2 boards on this forum can probably assist better if needed.
