I've been reading several posts that refer to disk management, active partitions, etc.
I'm really clueless on this topic so, I'm wondering why the "System Reserve" is marked active rather than C:\ ?

Yes, it is normal for the "System Reserved" partition to be marked "Active". An active partition on a basic disk means that the computer will use the loader (an operating system tool) on that partition to start/boot the operating system.
