Installing Windows OS on a drive allocated as D:

I am aware this is unusual but there is a reason for it.

I am planning on putting together a new machine in which I will install an SSD for the OS, with data files on a separate HDD.

For work I use Dropbox which is located directly on C: drive (C:\Dropbox).  I do a lot of work with AutoCAD and ArcGIS, applications that rely on links to data sources, to preserve these links Dropbox NEEDS to be on C:, but I don't want all my Dropbox files to use up space on the SSD.  Therefore I am investigating the possibility of installing the SSD as D: with the windows OS on it and the HDD as C: with all my data files, including Dropbox.

So my queries are:

Is it possible to install Windows on D: and if so how?

Are there any potential issues with installing Windows on D: instead of C:?

Thanks!!
