How can I access the files on Drive 1?

[Brayan2063]

Drive 1 is a SATA M.2 SSD from one of my laptops
It's the only drive that actually fits in that laptop that's why it's the boot drive I had to put my files on

now I'm on my main Laptop and I'd like to access those files but I don't really know how

 

I'm using Windows 10 Home and that drive has Windows 10 Home on it too
 

 

Actually, now that I see this, I'm wondering why my other drive I have Archlinux on doesn't appear, not even in diskpart.

(and I don't want to use linux to put those files from one drive on the other because I don't know how to use linux that well yet)

You have to assign a drive letter. Right click -> assign drive letter

the only thing I can do when right clicking is "Convert into dynamic drive"(translated)
is that what you mean?
and I can delete the volume with the files(which of course is not something I want to do)

Should look like this:

(Don't click the EFI partition)

Something like AOMEI Partition Assistant should allow to change letter for sure.

Nope, everything is greyed out except of "Volume löschen..." and "Hilfe" lol

Disk Management "tool" in Windows is basically useless/redundant.

Try AOMEI.

[Brayan2063]

OMG I think I know what might be happening 

maybe drive 1 is actually the drive I have Archlinux on and the drive I'm trying to get access to is not showing 

[Brayan2063]

ok so now the question is

why is the drive I'm trying to use, not showing
and how can I use it

That's a terrible way of approaching a problem. Usually there's a very good reason for behaving like this.

That is what I assume, since there is a EFI partition on the drive.

How is it connected?

Could you specify? Trying to use how?

You have more than the 2 drives shown in Disk Management?

[Brayan2063]

OK so I found a reason why it wasn't showing 
There are 3 places I can plug a drive in on my motherboard
and next to all of them is written PCIe/SATA, except next to one where it only says PCIe and the drive I tried using is SATA and it was plugged there, so it makes sense it didn't work

I switched it out with another one and suddenly I booted from it by mistake(which is fine)

this proves that it should work now
but when I booted back into my normal windows, it's still not here
 

[Brayan2063]

1 problem fixed, at least 1 to go

[Brayan2063]

I'll now try booting from it again to see if all drives show there

[Brayan2063]

Ok, weirdly, yes, they all show

It shows in Windows 10 Home(my moms) but not in Windows 10 Home(mine), hmmm

I didn't even have to set a drive letter or anything

I was able to transfer my files just like that

 

And now going back to my Windows....

Everything there now

Did I simply have to reboot for the drive to show?

 

Anyways my problem is solved now, thanks for your help
