  2. Installed windows 10 and now my f drive is gone

    Hi Dayton,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

    Initially, I suggest you to check for the drive in disk management.

    • Press Windows +R
    • Type diskmgmt.msc and press enter.
    I suggest you to assign a drive letter by using Diskpart if you find the f:\ drive by following the steps below:

    • Click Start > type
      diskpart.
    • Right-click diskpart in results above > click
      Run as administrator. Click OK for the prompt.
    • Once diskpart loads type list volume, press
      Enter.
    You will notice that you will see your partition that you use for your data, it should not show a drive letter assigned to it.

    4. Type select volume X (replace X with the volume number assigned to the partition in question).

    5. Type assign letter Z (replace Z with the letter that you want to assign to it).

    After the action is complete, try accessing the drives.

    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to
    write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 missing F drive

    Hi Judy,

    Thank you for using Windows 10.

    We regret for the inconvenience caused. Let us know some more details:

    • Have you used any third part software to manage Disk partition?
    • Did you format the drive?
    • Have you performed a Clean Install?
    I suggest you to check for the drive in Disk Management and see if it appears there. Follow the steps:

    • Log on as administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
    • Press Windows+R key and type diskmgmt.msc, and then click OK.
    See if the drive F: appears and does it appear as unallocated?

    Get back to us with the information and we'll be glad to assist.
