Windows 10: Increase allocation letters HDD

Hello, asks if I hesitate a way or a tweak to increase allocation letters to the disk drives.
Generally they are 26 and go from A to Z, I ask if it is possible to increase this range by entering numbers, eg. A1, B1, A2, B2, etc ...





Thank you

HDD not showing in the File explorer in Windows 10.

Hello Lorna,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will assist you in resolving the issue.

Unallocated drives are those whose drive letters are not allocated. You will be able to view the drive on your PC if you have allocated a drive name for the partition created. The drive will not be visible on the PC if you do not allocate a drive letter
or a drive name.

Allocate a drive letter to the HDD by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

• 
  Connect the HDD to the PC.
  
• 
  Open Run command by pressing
  Windows Key + R keys on the keyboard, type diskmgmt.msc and press
  Enter.
  
• 
  Right click on the Unallocated disk drive and select
  New Simple Volume option. Follow the onscreen instructions where in the process you will get to a window where you can allocate a drive name for the HDD.
  
• 
  After allocating a drive letter, right click on the drive and select
  Open. Check if you are able to open the drive in File Explorer.

HDD partitioned to unallocated space after performing scan & fix on Windows 10.

Hello Kyle,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.

Before assisting further on the query, I would like to ask you few questions:

• Are you able to view the hard disk in File explorer option on the PC?
• With the hard disk connected to the PC, are you able to recognize the device under Disk management?
  • 
    

You might be facing the above issue due to the unallocated letter for the drive. Unallocated drives are those whose drive letters are not allocated when initially partitioned or after formatting. You will be able to view the drive on your PC if you have
allocated a drive name for the partition created. The drive will not be visible on the PC if you do not allocate a drive letter or a drive name.

Method 1: Check if the drive is shown in File Explorer. If the drive is not shown in the
File Explorer, allocate a drive letter to the HDD by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

• Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and select
  Disk management option from the context menu. Check if the drive is visible in the window.
  
• If visible, right click on the Unallocated disk drive and select
  New Simple Volume option. Follow the onscreen instructions where in the process you will get to a window where you can allocate a drive name for the HDD.
  
• After allocating a drive letter, right click on the drive and select
  Open. Check if you are able to open the drive in File Explorer.
• Close the window and check if you are able to install Windows 10.

Method 2: As easeus partition wizard is not a Microsoft product, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer support for further assistance on the query if the issue persists.

Drive Letter Allocation - Windows 10

I have installed a new SSD in my windows 10 Pro PC. When I create two volumes it allocates it a Drive Letter of G: to the first volume and R:. to the second volume. I currently have 4 volumes (C, D, E and F) but when I go into Disk Management to try and
change the Drive letter of the second volume it does not show and letters between H: and Q:. Windows seems to have allocated the remaining drive letters to something else which I don't see in Disk Management. How do I free up H: I: etc. for use by my hard
disk volumes?
