Renaming drive letter for new SSD?

Whateverchan · July 9, 2020

I just installed Windows from a USB drive and have a new M2 SSD. I think nothing important has been installed on it yet. Can I change the drive letter to X instead of C? Will there be any issue? I know it's a risk to rename drive letter that has been used but this is a new one. Anything else I need to watch out for?

I also have another SSD from my old laptop. It has pictures and some old games from Steam. Can I change this SSD's drive letter to Z, too? It's probably gonna be my storage drive, mostly. Steam might have some difficulty but I can always download the games again. Will this cause any issue?

Thanks in advance!

If you want to rename it you need to reformat the entire disk.

Sorry, is this for the new SSD and not the old one? Well, what happens when I reformat it? It has a bunch of Program Files folders and some Windows stuff.
