    Why does upgrading to Windows 11 remove the E: drive partition ?


    On two separate machines - after upgrading from Windows 10 latest version to Windows 11, the E: drive partition was removed.First time, I thought it was a fluke, otherwise I would have backed up files I needed from that partition.Second machine, after upgrading to Windows 11 and rebooting, the partition vanished. That was today, 1/10/24. The other one was in November 2023Both machines were Windows 10, Asus motherboards with AMD Ryzen chips.In both cases, E: was a NTFS GPT sole partition on a drive that was not the system drive.
