When a physical disk is partitioned into multiple volumes, the operating system itself assigns letters to each of them. If you are not satisfied with the choice of OS, then you can change the letters assigned to individual volumes yourself.
Necessary
OS administrator rights
Instructions
Step 1
To perform such an operation, you must log in to the system with a user account that has administrator rights in this system.
Step 2
After logging into the OS, you need to run the computer management utility. You can do this through the control panel, but the shorter path is through the context menu of the shortcut "My Computer" on the desktop - right-click it and select "Control" from the menu.
Step 3
The window that opens is split into two panels. In the left pane you need to find the "Storage Devices" section and with the mouse cursor click on the "Disk Management" section in it.
Step 4
In a few seconds, the application will scan all the disks on your computer and create a map of their partition into volumes. The result will be presented in the right pane of the program window. You need to find among all volumes the one whose letter you want to change and right-click on it. The context menu will also contain the item "Change drive letter or path to drive" - select it.
Step 5
In the window that opens after this action, you need to click the "Change" button to go to the next dialog box. There you will find the inscription "Assign a drive letter (A-Z)" and a drop-down list next to it. It contains a list of all letters not yet assigned to the carriers - choose the most appropriate letter for this volume.
Step 6
Such an operation requires additional confirmation and when the program asks for it, click the "Yes" button.
Step 7
The operation of replacing the volume letter will be completed at this point, and you will have two now unnecessary windows open. Close them by clicking the "OK" button in each.
