Windows 10: How to identify the current boot partiton

I occasionally get a PC to "freshen up" that has multiple System Reserved Partitions, generally having been upgraded from Win 7 to something newer.

I know how to identify the current Recovery Partition using DISKPART => List Partition and REagentC /info from the DOS prompt.

Is there a systemic way to determine what partition a system is booting from within Windows? I would rather not load a third party tool to find this info.

Please suggest me a link that can explain the boot process step by step of ...

• Windows 7,
• Windows 8.1,
• Windows 10,
• Windows Server 2008 R2 and
• Windows Server 2012 R2

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.

 

I have so many recovery partitons!

Hello, Unfortunately, with the screenshot you provided, it is not possible for us to identify the correct partitons. However, you may judge them via space occupied on disk, that's the only trick IMO. Regards.
