Go to a command prompt. Assuming your main drive is drive C:, enter

convert c: /FS:NTFS

You will be prompted that it cannot convert the system volume, you must
dismount the volume. Reply yes. You will still have to reboot to convert the
system volume. Reboot, it takes about 3 minutes. Only convert the D: drive
if you want to. BTW, why do you want to convert to NTFS?
