So, I went to my computer and saw I wanted to add a D: drive, so I opened Disk Management, went to the Action menu, and realized there's no Create Disk option.
WHAT!? There should be a Create Disk option! But it's not there. I thought Windows would add it in the next update! So I made this concept art; I hope anyone sees this image_2026-10-06_203424674.webpCreate Disk.webp

There is no problem with Disk Management...

If you're adding a new drive, you would see it in the lower pane.

You would right-click on the drive name, select Initialize Disk, and go from there.

If you're adding a new partition for a "D: drive", you would create unallocated space on the drive.

Yeah, well, I want Windows to add that in the next update
