Do you mean to say "Stream" -- as in "Stream" computer?
Tiny little C drive disk?
No room to turn around?
Sound familiar?
Regardless,
The "D" drive is perhaps the Recovery Drive -- if little Stream computer even has such.
If "D" is the Recovery Drive, then No, you cannot install games or anything else in that area.

OK -- Unknown computer model - not HP Stream.
Computer model likely does not matter as long as the Disk structure is something with which you are familiar and you know "this should work".
Not sure -- Just one idea at the moment...
If you have not done so, check the Permissions - these are not likely changed, but it takes seconds to confirm.
Open Windows Explorer > Navigate to the "D" Drive
Try to write to the drive - simple text file - content is not as important as whether you have read/write access.

I'll post back should I think of anything to add.
