  4. how do i click change drive letter

    How in WIN 11 do I change the drive letter of the CD/ROM drive?

    Thanks, Greg.

    So this is what worked, step by step.

    Reboot

    Drive is listed as E: in file explorer.

    Drive not listed in Disk Management.

    Insert DVD, it plays after short pause.

    Disk management now shows Audio CD as E:

    Right click, change letter to R: (while playing!)

    Reboot.

    Drive now shows as BD-RE drive as R: in File Explorer.

    The bottom line is

    - File Explorer does not provide for changing drive letter afics.

    - Disk Management seems to need a disk to be in the drive for it to "see" the drive. I can't recall is this is Win 10 behaviour

    I don't recall having any difficulty with this in Win 10 (its possible that the Win 10 default drive allocation was "after" my external drives; or I "just changed it").

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
