At home, I've been keeping all my photos on an external hard drive that my computer knows as the H drive. So the LR catalog looks for my photos on this drive.
I use my laptop computer at work, where i plug into the work network, and then I use the same laptop at home. Because my work network assigns drive letter H to a drive, my new computer, when back home, will not let me assign letter H to the external drive that has my photos.
I'd be happy to give that external drive a different letter, one that doesn't cause a conflict with the letters used at work, but how would LR find my photos? Is there a way to tell LR that all the pathnames in the catalog that begin with H:\ must now be changed, to say X:\ ? Can this be done globally without much trouble?
(In case it matters, my new computer is a windows 10 computer)
Any help is much appreciated
