Unable To Mark Partition Active

[Ankit2306]

Hi I was Trying to mark my primary partion active , which has Windows 11 Pro , however the Mark Partition Active is greyed out , what can i do ?

Why you want to make it active? The first boot partition efi is active btw.
Dont mess up with any of these things as it will render your os useless and ten its a huge turn to correct things.

I am having trouble backing up my data , whenever I ran the backup , it gives me an error , as unable to complete the backup process , contacted Acer tech support, they said as the primary partion is not marked active . There will be this issue , however as I have upgraded from Windows 11 Home Single language to Windows 11 pro , the Acer tech support won't help me regarding that .....
