Next drive letter

I’ve been working on using the Hyper-V PowerShell library and wanted to use the Mount-VHD function.  It wants a drive letter.  The library provides Get-FirstAvailableDriveLetter but what I want is actually the next letter in the sequence.  I want to avoid A & B to avoid confusion. So I needed a function to get the next drive letter

function get-nextdriveletter {            
            
$disk = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk |            
sort DeviceId -Descending |            
select -First 1 -Property DeviceID            
            
$letter = ($disk.DeviceID).Substring(0,1).ToUpper()            
if ($letter -eq "Z"){            
 Write-Host "No more drive letters available"            
}            
else {            
 $nextletter = [char](([byte][char]$letter) + 1)            
 $nextletter            
}            
            
}

Use WMI to get the last letter used – descending sort on DeviceID produces that. Take the letter, convert to a byte value, add 1 and convert back
