Windows 10: Any way to reassign a drive in the line up? Used to be #0

So here is the scenario....

My new rig has given me hell since I got it from hardware issues to software issues... most of it's all cleared up now so I'm thankful for that and many thanks to all the nice folks here for your help in getting there. *Smile

Now the rig came with a 16 mb M.2 SSD that's mounted directly onto the motherboard. It's position in the drive line up was #0. Now I've replaced it with a 1 Terabyte M.2 drive but it's now listed as drive #4. I'd like to get it returned to being drive #0. Is there a way to go about doing that?

I have purchased the software to move my Windows 10 installation over to it and like most of my past installations Windows was always on drive #0 so getting this last bit fixed, if there is a fix, is the final step until the big Migration.

Thanks so much
Richard

Reassign shorcut

Let us perform some other process. You can reassign some keys to access different commands, shortcuts, or Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center features to better fit your work style.

Please note that the options listed in this wizard vary depending on the key selected. For example, since you cannot reassign the Windows key, the only option available is to disable it. To reassign a key, please follow the steps below:

• Using the keyboard that you want to configure, start Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center.
• From the displayed list of key names, select the key you want to reassign.
• In the command list of the key that you want to reassign, select a command.

Let us know the outcome of the steps provided.

Thank you.

 

Drive Letters, will they be overwritten or reassigned?


if you want to assign new letters to the new drives and keep you current drive letters assigned like they are now i suggest you take a screenshot of pc so you can manually reassign the various drive letters. i have the following saved in a folder on my backup drive called post os install. hope this helps.





fyi after fixing the drive letter assignments i hide the drive letters so everything lines up numerically and alphabetically

 

Drive Letters, will they be overwritten or reassigned?

Thank you for your help and assistance xXWhacerXx! If you can clarify this first, because I believe I saw a warning on this that by changing the drive letter can ruin other things that are mapped to it. I would like to not change the drive letters once they are assigned, but if you are not having any problems I guess that could be something that I saw wrong.

Also, do you think that having the drive letters as explained before and plugging in the other ones that had the same drive letter will overwrite the new ones or change them automatically?
