Hi all, hope this is in the right place.
I have a laptop with Windows installed on a 128 GB SSD (labelled C) and a currently empty 1 TB HDD (labelled D).
Essentially I would like to swap the labels around, so the SSD with the OS is the D drive, and the HDD is the C drive.
The HDD needs to be labelled as C for work purposes - we share a lot of linked files so need consistency there.
I have two questions:
Thanks in advance!

I have two questions:
- How do I rename the C drive? Using the "Disk Management" tool I can freely rename the HDD, but because the C drive is in use I am unable to make changes. The exact error given is "The parameter is incorrect".
- Will renaming the C drive to D cause problems with the OS booting? (I'm relatively OK with other programs having issues as that can be fixed, and I've installed very few at present)
Thanks in advance!
