How do you change the name of a drive in Elements?

I am trying to move the catalogue to a different computer. I have made a complete backup.  I assume the drive names in the new computer will have to be the same as in the old one for the catalogue backup to locate the files. If so,  how do I change them?

    If you have the complete backup of the catalog with you, then difference in the drive names is not an issue as the backup has the copy of all media items in your catalog.

    You can simply copy the backup on your new machine and try restoring your catalog there.

    On instructions about how to backup and restore catalog, please see Move Elements Organizer catalog | Elements 6 or later

    Thanks,
