Why C is the default drive in Windows? Know Now !

It could have been anything if it must be C because it does not follow any order. Logically, the default drive should be A.

so why? Why did Windows do this?

In fact the reason is historical. This is associated with Floppy Drives. Before HDD became a standard for drives (1980), floppy disks were used to boot computers. These floppy disks were available in two sizes at that time: 5 1/4 "and 3 1/2".

These floppy disks are named one with the local disk (A), and the other with the local disk (B). After the invention of the hard drive, the floppy disk came from the size of 8 inches into existence.

The hard drive was labeled C. After that, the hard drives became a standard for drives, and the names of drive A and B disappeared with the disappearance of floppy disks, and C was the default name for hard drives.

Despite all this, you can rename your default to any character you want (if there is no other drive with the same alphabet as its name) if you have administrative rights
