How to move iTunes back to C: drive from D:

I copied my iTunes app and library to my D: drive but two things happened: iTunes opens much slower and in the process I lost some music that was imported from CDs. Now (after a few months of iTunes being on D:) my D: Drive is almost full and I've cleared over half of my C: drive by eliminating unused apps, etc. (138 GB free).

I want to move my app and library back to C: but I don't want to lose any of the CD music I've re-imported, so I'm asking what steps I should follow to successfully move both the iTunes app and my entire library back to the C: Drive on my Windows 11 PC. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Windows, Windows 10

See Make a split library portable - Apple Community. If you moved the library as a unit you should be able to move it back. If you consolidated the content to a different media folder while leaving the .itl file on the C: drive then you should be able to reset the media folder (to <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Media - presumably empty/non-existent right now) and consolidate to the updated location.
