  1. Copy the entire iTunes folder from your music folder to D:\iTunes.
  2. Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library.
  3. Click Choose and navigate to the file D:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
  4. Check the library is working properly.
  5. Use the option File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to import any stay files to the new library folder.
  6. Delete the old iTunes folder on the C: drive.


Ideally you will also backup this library to another drive.
