Something to note after reinstalling Win because drive letters changed?

Post by Biff »

I want to install a new Win 11. Should you pay attention to anything regarding the drive letters, which have to be changed for each drive in the operating system after installation?

For example, if I subsequently change the drive letter D: that the operating system automatically assigned by Win 11, do I have to pay attention to something in Everything?

Or can I just let Everything run normally?

Drive letters don't matter to Everything.

Everything tracks volumes by Volume GUID.

So there is nothing to worry about (e.g. the properties are all kept when changing a drive letter, no new idexing needed, etc.).

Many thanks!
