Windows 10: Disk designations (C, D, etc.

I just cloned my original 2 TB data only disk to a 6 TB disk data only disk. However, the disk designation went from "D:" to "H:". Is there a way to reidentify it as "D:"?

how to merge c drive and d drive

It depends on a couple things.

If you have two separate physical C and D drives, you can't merge them.

If the D drive is a partition (not a drive) and its to the right of C:\ in Disk Management, you can right click C:\ then click Extend.

Press Windows key + X

Click Disk Management

Take a screenshot then post in a reply here.

If the layout is similar to how I described it, try the following. Make sure important data is backed up if there is any.

Select the D:\ partition

Right click the ‘D:\’ in Disk Management, on the contextual menu, click the ‘Delete Volume’ option. Click ‘Yes’ when the warning dialog appears.

The Volume you deleted will now appear as ‘Free space’, you will also notice that the disk icon no longer appears in the list of volumes.

Right click the Free space partition, and click Delete, click Yes on the Disk Management warning that appears.

The volume will now appear as Unallocated. Our next step is to merge back that unallocated free space with the system partition (C:\). Right click the System volume and click the ‘Extend Volume’ option on the contextual menu, click ‘Yes’ when the warning appears.

A wizard will now begin that will guide through the steps to merge back the unallocated space with your system partition.

The wizard provides a simple procedure to merge back the unallocated space with the system drive. Once you have selected the space, click Next, at the end of the wizard, you will see the amount allocated.

Problems with Disk saving files! I changed saving to Disk D but it still saves stuff in Disk C.

I really need help right now. So I recently bought a pc. It has Disk C ( with 118 GB ) and Disk D (with 981 GB) the problem is... I want everything to be saved on Disk D by default and not on Disk C but that hasn't been working until now. I went to settings
and changed the storage location but it's still saving on Disk C and not D, what happens is... The Disk C gets full and I can't change things to Disk D if I change anything ( example: a game ) there'll be 2 of the same things in Disk C and D and if I try to
delete the one in Disk C I won't be able to open because it says it doesn't exist anymore. What can I do to change the downloads to Disk D only.
