In this easy Windows 11 guide, you’ll learn how to change the drive letter on your external or portable hard drive using the built-in Disk Management tool.
If your files vanish or your backup app can’t find your drive because Windows renamed it, this tutorial fixes that permanently.
Changing the drive letter makes sure your drives always appear the same — perfect for backups, syncing, or media libraries.
