How to pin hard drives to the Windows 10 taskbar

[Brian Burgess]

It looks like with Windows 10, we'll be able to pin virtually any items to the Start menu and taskbar easily, as shown in my previous post:

Basically if you're not able to pin an item direclty via the drag and drop method to the taskbar, you can pin them to the Start menu first, then to the taskbar. Here's a look at pinning a hard drive.

Open This PC and right-click the drive you want and select Pin to Start. Here I am just going to pin my root drive, but you can pin external drives and others too.

Then open the Start menu and find the drive, right-click > Pin to taskbar. Note too, that you can resize the drives in the Start menu and cluster them together for convenience if you want.

And there you are.
