Drive Letter Changer

Whenever I plug in my USB drive, Windows Explorer presents it as drive D, and I’m okay with that. But what if I weren’t, what if I wanted the USB drive to have some other letter? Well, I could launch the Disk Management tool that’s built into the Windows operating system and use it to assign the USB drive a new letter. Or, I could get a free and portable application called Drive Letter Changer and easily assign the USB drive a new letter.

I mentioned above that Drive Letter Changer is a portable application. What this means is that you won’t have to install it. What you will have to do instead is download a ZIP archive, extract its contents, and run DChanger.exe. According to the developer, Drive Letter Changer should run without a problem on 32- or 64-bit versions of Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, or XP.

Drive Letter Changer has a simple interface that lists all your drives, complete with drive letters, drive labels, drive names. If you want to assign drive D a new letter, you can select it from the list, go to the Task menu then the Change Drive Letter submenu, and pick a new drive letter. Alternatively, you can click drive D from the list and select a new drive letter from the Change Drive Letter menu.

Sordum, the developer behind Drive Letter Changer, offers this application for the great price of free. If you like Drive Letter Changer and you want to support its development, consider making a donation.

Thanks to Drive Letter Changer, it is incredibly easy to assign a drive a new drive letter. Drive D can quickly become drive M for example.
