To distinguish your storage in File Explorer in Windows, you may want to rename a drive or change the volume label. When you format a drive without naming it, Windows always gives it the default name “Local Disk”, such as “Local Disk (C:)”. However, if necessary, you can rename a volume at any time. ..
