How To Change Drive Letters in Windows 7?

Hi Everyone,

If you want to change the drive letter of your choice of the hard drive partition in your computer. I have solution here. Note that you cannot change the drive letter of the partition that Windows 7 is installed on. In a normal Windows 7 system, this is the C drive.



Here are those simple steps to change a drive letter in Windows 7:

1. Open Run window by pressing Win+R key.

2. Type diskmgmt.msc and hit enter to open Windows 7 Disk Management.

Note: You can also open Disk Management from the Computer Management utility.

3. On the right-hand side of the screen, locate and right-click on the drive that you wish to change the drive letter of and choose Change Drive Letter and Paths option.
4. In the Change Drive Letter and Paths window, click on the Change button.

5. The Change Drive Letter or Path dialog box will appear.

6. Choose the drive letter you wish to assign to this drive by clicking the letter from the drop-down box on the right.



7. Click OK.

8. The Disk Management window that appears advises you that "Some programs that rely on drive letters might not run correctly. Do you want to continue?".

Note: If you have software installed to this drive, the software may stop functioning after a drive letter change. Nearly all software defaults to the primary drive though, so this is rarely a concern.

9. Click Yes, If you are sure you want to make this change.

10. We are done and Now you can now close the Disk Management window.

Thanks for reading my blog !
