Hello fellow users.  I've recently built my computer and I've run into one of my first problems that I cant find the answer to on the internet.   How to I change the Local Drive, or at least make a different drive the primary or default.  In this case. I have my SSD with all of the applications and my OS installed on it and it got made my local drive.  I would really like my local or default drive to be my 3TB HDD.   I know all about the disk management and drive renaming thing, but it will not let me rename my current local drive.  So I have no clue what I am to do.

Local drive just means connected to the PC, but if you're just wanting to change the default install and save locations that's a matter of system settings that should be in the control panel. If you're wanting to move the OS then just find a youtube how to and buckle up. The name has no real value other than to identify a drive.
