use the disk management tool:

start/settings/controlpanel/admintools/computermgt/diskmanagement

you can change any drive letter *except* that containing the running
system. the system's registry contains hundreds of references to the
drive letter used at install, and they will not be updated...the system
would fail if you did this.

you can change a drive letter to any currently unused letter.

example: to swap d: and e:, change d: to z:, then e: to d:, then z: to
e:. [for "z:" use any available letter.]
