Best places to buy a gaming laptop

I can't understand why you would want to do that when programs can be installed on D. But yes, Origin is supposed to be able to move an install from one drive to another for you (this doesn't work out correctly for everyone). You can't just move the program files themselves by dragging/dropping or cut/paste, that certainly won't work because the Windows Registry won't know where the programs have gone to.

I’m just worried about some of the disks that can’t be registered , where should I direct them to be downloaded if I pick the custom option to put it on my d drive ?

When you're installing from disc, you should be able to choose the destination for the game files just as you would for a digital install. A word of warning though: Origin has recently been declining to recognize packs that were installed via disc and aren't registered to the player's account. I doubt it happens all the time, but I have seen a couple of reports recently.

Sims 1 does run in Windows 10, although I'm sure there's some kind of compatibility mode involved. Sims 2 is supposed to run fine in Windows 10, with compatibility mode set to Vista service pack 2 or 3. But there are some reports that Nvidia 10-series cards can't run the game, either the disc version or the Ultimate Collection from Origin. I'm not sure why. I doubt it's the cards' architecture, which is shared with the 9-series. It could just be due to poorly done edits of the .sgr files, or their TS2 equivalent, since many players use Graphics Rules Maker instead of doing the edits manually. I can't test, since I own neither TS2 nor a 10-series card. Hopefully someone in the TS2 section here can help. But if not, and you're up for experimenting a bit, let me know, and I'll try to find out what else you can do.

Where should I direct the ones that I download from the disk ? Whats the exact folder should I direct them to ?

Anywhere you want in a subfolder on D. It really doesn't matter. If Origin is going to manage this install for you, it will put the pack installs where it wants to if it needs to move them within the same D drive whether the original media was download or disc. If Origin is going to refuse to work with unregistered packs, then they are not going to work no matter where you put them.
