    Open Disk Management.

    1. Right-click on the volume
    2. Select "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
    3. Click "Change"
    4. Assign your preferred drive letter
    5. Click "OK"

    [You'll need to first free up the C: letter > Change the current C: drive to another unused letter > Then assign C: to your Windows drive (currently G:)]
