It probably depends on what OS's you have installed....

But, the primary partition usually holds the boot manager...

Yes, understand that the boot manager tells the computer where to look for the operating system. If you remove it, it won't be there to load. The computer will then storp. Your computer won't autmatically look for or default to the other OS.

There exist boot manager programs that let you choose, and may detect, between the two operating systems, which one to use, you have to manually pick the one.
