For example, if you copy all files on the C drive of other's computer to the C drive of your own computer, you still cannot boot this system. Based on Microsoft definition, system partition refers to the partition that contains the boot loader which is responsible for booting operating system. System partition and boot partition can be (but not must be) on the same drive. Boot partition refers to the partition that operating system folders and Windows OS supported files. Generally speaking, system partition is the partition which is used to save all kinds of boot files, while boot partition is the partition which is used to save Windows system root.
