Sorry, you can't.
 
If it was installed to F: the only way to "move it to C:" is to Install

it to C:. Perhaps you had some removable drives connected during the

install? Unplug them this time when you reinstall.

You will find that if you have a memorycard reader built in your system

this is how you have got in this position.You need to disconnect it from

your motherboard,do the install of windows and then plug it back in.
 
if windows was installed

to drive f



and windows is functional

at this time



then you cannot change

the drive letter without

loosing the functionality

of the o.s.



you see when you installed

the o.s. to the f drive,



all the system files were

encoded to operate from

the drive f.



further if you have installed

third party programs in

the o.s. then they have been

encoded to function from

the drive f.



unfortunately, if you do want

drive c as the default drive for

the o.s.



then you will have to reinstall

the o.s. and ensure you

pick drive c.



in my opinion leave well

enough alone.



however, it does seem odd

that you had a drive f to

pick during installation.

Only by re-installing it from scratch, onto the correct drive/partition.
