Back in the DOS era, fdisk was used to create the 'partitions' in which the 'primary partition' would usually be the boot (active) partition as the 'C' drive and the rest of the space could be allocated to an 'extended partition'. And then that 'extended partition' would be further 'partitioned' into logical volumes (drive labels d,e,f etc.)
I was using Windows FLP a.k.a Fundamental For Legacy PC at that time. Trust me, Microsoft at that time was care for less bloatware rather than Windows 10 and 11
