How to find the primary drive in windows using powershell
Introduction
At times we may have to find some space in the machine where we can store some data. We cannot guess the drive as it may be different on different machine. With powershell we can find the drive to where the OS is mounted and can try to store the data there. The below line of code will help you achieve this using powershell.
$disk = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_logicaldisk -Filter "VolumeName = 'OSDisk'"
echo ($disk.Properties | Where-Object{ $_.Name -eq "Caption"}).Value.Trim();
