How to assign the same letter to two different flash drives

I have two flash that I am using to back up Quick books.  Each night I use "1" drive and the next night I use "2" drive.  The problem is, Quickbooks always uses the same drive letter to do it's backup.  However, Windows assigns a different drive letter each time I insert the different drive.
This problem also exists with sync back software.  If the backup drive is assigned "E" and I take the backup drive out, then the next time I plug it in, Windows might assign it a different drive letter and so Sync back can't back up until I manually assign it the same as before.  
 Is there a way to force windows 10 to keep the same drive letter to both drives?

I downloaded the USBDLM V5.3.5 and looked at it some, but I will need to study it a bit to see how to use it.  right now it seems confusing to me, but maybe I'll figure it out.  Thanks for helping me with this.
