    SQL has to install some things on the C drive to integrate with the OS, but the majority of the main important binaries will be on the D drive.

    this is because some components are loaded at boot time. Logically, the only drive that is absolutely online during boot is the C drive 😉

    AFAIk, some of the files are required to be installed on system Drive. thats why I think, even though we change the path, you will still see some files on C drive

    Hope it Helps!!
