Hello,
When I choose an external hard drive, it always gives me the same drive letter so it's difficult to know the location of each movie. Nor would I like to assign another letter because I have more hard drives than letters so I will always have that problem.
What is the best way to add external hard drives to windows?
Thanks in advance.

If you dont want to allocate drive letters, and you have more hard drives than letters, then there is nothing that windows can do to resolve it.
You need to rethink and reorganise your hard disks and data. Maybe invest in a NAS or consolidate your drives into larger capacity ones.

That still does not change my answer.
As this has nothing to do with Kodi, I will move you to Off-Topic.

Dynamically join hard drives. Combine 2 hard drives (or more) to become 1 drive. This will free up 1 or more drive letters. There are 26 letters in the alphabet. I'm using 27 hard drives + 1 virtual rom drive which normally would require 28 letters. 3 smaller hard drives are dynamically joined and appear as 1 and only require 1 drive letter. Files spread across all 3 drives so if 1 fails, all will be lost, a chance I'm willing to take. You can google how to. It's very easy.
