The labels of disk drives(volumes) can be changed from windows command line using label command. In the command, we need to specify the drive letter for which we need to change the label. Note that drive letter and drive label are different. In the below snapshot, drive letter is C: and drivel label is ‘Windows 7‘
Command to change drive label:
