SUMMARY By default Windows does not assign a label to its C drive, but it assigns a partition label ("Basic data Partition"). When connecting a Windows drive (e.g. when dual-booting with Windows), Solid will name that drive using the partition label, and this name will be shown into Dolphin, making hard do really understand which that disk is (at least until you mount it and see what is inside it). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Connect a drive with a standard windows installation 2. Look at the label used for the C drive in Dolphin OBSERVED RESULT The C drive is called "Basic data Partition" EXPECTED RESULT The C drive should get a more understandable name that would not confuse the user SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: 5.15.6 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2
I guess this bug should be part of the "15-Minute Bug Initiative", it affects every dualboot setup with windows by default and it's something basic that's looks broken/misleading
I don't see how this can be fixed in Solid. The easiest way is for the user to set a label for the partition.

Yeah, it should be a specif code just to handle this particular windows behavior, and I'm not a big fan of this idea, but still make the users fix this by themself isn't a solution too (and moreover I have no idea how windows would react to it)
As an aside: a filesystem label is tied to the filesystem not the OS, so you can change the label under Windows, and it'll be used in Linux.
