Learn how to activate partition in 10 minutes!

The computer's boot partition, which contains all of the operating system boot files, is referred to as an active partition. In Windows, partition C is often installed as the active partition by default. In order to assign drive letters to the primary and logical partitions, the operating system builds a disk image on the active partition when the system boots. Prior to naming the logical drives with successive letters, pictures of all primary partitions must first be produced.

When you have multiple OS with multiple partitions, you can set the corresponding active partitions, and you can change the active partition to start the computer in the required operating system.

2nd way: Disk Management

This method of activating a partition is even easier than the previous one:

Enter diskmgmt.ms in the Search window and select Disk Management in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2008.

You will see a list of possible partitions, right-click the partition you want to make active, and click on Mark this partition as active.

Exit the program, restart your computer, and you're done!
