How to change the icon for basically anything on Mac

To change the icon of a drive, file, folder, etc.:
1. Right-click on the file/folder/drive w/ the icon that you want to put on another thing.
2. Click 'Get Info'
3. On the top left-hand corner, the icon is there. Click on it once so that it is outlined in blue, and then press CMND-C (Copy). Close the window.
4. Right click and click 'Get Info' on the file/folder/drive which will get a copy of the icon.
5. In the same top left-hand corner, click the icon once, and press CMND-V (Paste). Congrats! The only time this won't work is if you don't have 'sufficient privileges' for the destination item.
Thanks!
