Windows 7 has a command prompt, which looks similar to the interface of MS-DOS. However, only text-mode DOS programs can be run in the command prompt (and none at all on 64-bit systems). The files to create an MS-DOS boot disk are still present in Windows 7, but they are not used or needed for running Windows 7.

∙ 7y agoWindows 97 was an unofficial name for an improved version of Windows 95. The original Windows 95 suffered from a number of problems and was continually upgraded. Windows 97 was the last upgrade before the officially labelled Windows 98.
No, Windows 97 does not even exist. However, two of the oldest Microsoft Windows operating systems, are, "Windows 95", and, "Windows 98."
That is not totally correct. There was an update for Win 95 that either changed or gave an option to change it to say Win 97. My uncle has installed it on my cousins computer back in the day.
The 'Improved' answer is nonsense. 'Back in the day' your uncle would have installed Windows 95 with a service pack as that term was first used when Win95 sp1 came out, he would have then possible upgraded to Win98 then possibly Win98SE (SE=Second Edition) then possibly WinME (ME=Millenium Edition). Windows 97 does not exist in any form, apart from bad forum posts

How can I get Dos Box and DOS programs to run on a windows 7 64 bit Os?
Windows 7 (32 bit versions) have an emulation of DOS (cmd) that seems much more compatible than running DOS apps in Window XP. You can routinely run WordStar, PC Tools apps, many public domain utilities and various DOS accounting programs in Home, Professional and Ultimate versions of Windows 7. Remember though, they must be 32 bit versions. Windows 7 Professional has an XP compatibility window you can setup. Theoretically, in that mode under the 64-bit version of Windows 7 you might be able to run various DOS apps.

I guess you wanted to ask: why don't DOS-programs (like TurboC and programs generated by TurboC) run on Windows 7? Answer: it is by design; unlike older versions, Windows 7 doesn't have a built-in DOS-emulator. Download and use DosBox.
What are some of the differences between programming at the command line for DOS vs command line in Windows?
DOS is a older Windows OS (behind Windows 95). Command Prompt is in all Windows OS (Windows 95 to Windows 7) DOS only supports FAT file systems DOS can't CD to files with spaces in the address line DOS only supports OLD PC systems (anything that can run Windows 95 is to "new") That is all that I know, as I code in C++
Where can you download MS-DOS 8?
Technically speaking, there is no MS-DOS 8. MS-DOS 6.22 was the last version of MS-DOS released as a separate product. Future updates to MS-DOS were bundled with Windows. You can create a basic MS-DOS boot disk that is branded as being "MS-DOS 8" by formatting a floppy with the Startup disk option in Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. These are not typically considered "full" versions of MS-DOS, because they lack many of the programs conatined in 6.22 and prior.
