Windows 10 formatting ?

Hello
Here is a pick of disk management
C and D are what is in my pc my main drive.
I take it the the top one with no drive letter is the new Seagate that is unallocated
So how do I assign it a.drive letter and format it to ntfs like my other drive
Do I assign it the letter A or B ?


Thanks

You have to activate it in disk manager

Right click on the start and disk Management
Exactly this

@Hitman Select a drive letter other than A or B, those are reserved for legacy devices.

Hello

But where or how do I assign a drive letter
I am looking threw
File action view and help
I am right clicking on it and do not see how to assign a drive letter.

Now right click on the Disk 1 part

First you activate the drive, then assign a drive letter

When I do that the only thing high lighted is
New simple volume
Properties
Help
That's the only 3 that show in the down screen
 
New simple volume, And I hope you clicked GPT on the partition

Then just click next and so on
