    • Tap on View tab.
    • Click Preview Pane to view/hide it.

  4. Cannot add/remove drives from the left side pane of Explorer

    Show fixed drives in navigation pane

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern, I will be glad to assist you with this.

    In order for the drives to appear in the navigation pane, I would suggest you to pin the drives in quick access. This way, every time you open file explorer, you will be able to easily access and see the drives on the navigation pane. To do so, follow the
    steps below:

    1. Press Windows key + E to open file explorer.

    2. Click This PC on the left pane.

    3. Left click on a drive and drag it under the quick access pane and release the mouse once you see the "pin to quick access" popup

    4. Repeat the steps for the remaining drives.

    Hope this helps.

    Let us know if you need further assistance, we will be glad to help.
