Is it a simply matter of making settings change(?)

Finder>Settings>General

Finder>Settings>Sidebar>Locations

It’s just a setting that probably got reset after the Tahoe upgrade.

Open Finder > Settings > General and make sure “Hard disks” is checked under “Show these items on the desktop.”

Also go to Finder > Settings > Sidebar and check “Hard disks” there too.

Once those are ticked, your drive should pop back up on the desktop and sidebar like before.

Finder menu > Settings > General tab, tick the box to show Hard disks.

Change the same setting on the Sidebar tab, if you like.

Note that the icon has changed, too.
