What is DOS ? DOS, generally speaking DOS means any operating system. In most cases when we say DOS , we mean Microsoft Disk Operating System. DOS was designed for IBM computers, by Microsoft. DOS is an upgrade from the older operating system, such as the CP/M. However DOS is still operating as a 16-bit operating system, and cannot support multitasking, or multiple users.
So, what exactly is DOS ?
In simple words its a "command line". Its exacxtly what it sounds like you type a command/action the computer to do, and it does. Sounds pretty easy right ? Well it is once you get used to typing in the correct format, so that the command goes through.
NOTE: the picture is an actual Command screen , you can access this screen by clicking on start and then run , in the run adress bar type in the words cmd, short for command , and click ok .
