Changing Default installation

We Installed MySQL on VM ( C drive) where Development is taking place.

We got into situation where C drive has very limited space and we added additional drive for storing large sums of files.

MySQL by default installing entire software to C:\ (Including Program/Data)

Since C:\ space is very small, we want to direct the Data files to D:\.

Config file by default writes Datadir=C: /ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.7\Data

How do we change to D:\, when I tried to edit the config , server doesn't start.

MySQL is on Windows based server
