I had installed bitcoin in c:\bitcoin however C disk has run out of space and I moved blocks to other HDD.

bitcoin core does not load wallet.dat that I have stored in c:\bitcoin
Instead it creates new wallet.dat file in datadir (E:\bitcoin)

Is it possible/how to get bitcoin core to load original wallet.dat ?

I really do not wish to just place wallet.dat in E:\bitcoin (unencripted HDD).

where ever you want to can store the wallet.dat file as a copy but the original have to be in the software directory so that when it searches it can find the old wallet.dat file if not it will create a new wallet.dat file with new details.
