I have two hard drives C: solid state with the operating system installed and D: for back up. I would like to move my User profile from C: to D: to free up space on C:
Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Are you aware that moving your profile will render future upgrades useless?– td512May 31, 2015 at 8:13

Do not move the whole user profile. See zdnet.com/article/… for the reasons. You can move the user data directories (Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and so on), see zdnet.com/article/… for a supported way to do this.– DavidPostill ♦May 31, 2015 at 8:27

I think... you can move the entire Users folder from the C: drive to the D: drive, and create a 'symbolic link'.
I suggest taking a system restore image before hand.
To copy the files...
robocopy /copyall /mir /xj C:\Users D:\Users
To create the link...
mklink /D /J C:\Users D:\Users
