Win 10: How to rename drives?

I've removed a couple of folders and moved the target to drives.

F:\ is named Downloads but it doesn't appear as downloads in explorer quick links.

Any ideas?

something daft already!! said:
Right click the drive in explorer, select "Rename"

The drive is already renamed but still appears as drive letter in explorer sidebar as per screen.

I should have elaborated, I only installed Win10 on my SDD, so dropped all my existing data onto other hard drives.

E.g. I dumped my docs onto a drive, then I moved the target of my docs to the new drive. Whilst it renames, it doesn't change it in quick access as per screenshot - it appears as letter but further down you can view the name.

Quick Access doesn't update automatically. You can right click the D drive in quick access to unpin it, then click the renamed drive under this PC, and re-pin it to quick access to update the name.

I thought that was the case, but it just adds it back as a drive letter!
