+## Under Linux
+
+As you'd expect, it's pretty simple. You just need `fatlabel` from the `dosfstools` package:
+
+```
+sudo apt-get install dosfstools
+lsblk --fs
+fatlabel /dev/yourdrive YourLabel
+```
+
+## Under Windows
+
+Windows generally won't let you do this, always defaulting to upper-case, but there is a workaround. Create a new text file on the root of the drive called `autorun.inf` with the following contents.
+
+```
+[autorun]
+label=YourLabel
+
+[Content]
+MusicFiles=false
+PictureFiles=false
+VideoFiles=false
+```
