Sorry, you can't change the system drive letter.

You CAN change the system drive letter by modifying the registry.
Unfortunately, you then have to do a ton of work to the registry afterwards
because a lot of programs (including default Windows programs) put their
paths into the registry using drive letters.

So in many cases a re-install might be a better idea, but it is NOT
impossible to change the system drive letter.

Just 100% impractical... which is functionally the same thing.
