Before things heat up unnecessarily let me explain a few things. I
guess everyone misunderstood my question.

I didn't ask what is or what do you mean by a primary or logical
partition or active partition or how many primary/ logical /active
partitions can you create.

I do not wish to create any partitions. I already have them. I just
want to change their properties (primary/logical/active) and want to
know what advantage/disadvantage will I get by doing so in terms of
the performance of Windows (or my computer as such).


There are *no* performance differences either way. "Don't fix what ain't
broke."
