Best Answer

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++

What are the differences between dos and operating system?

The letters DOS stand for Disk Operating System. So DOS is an operating system. It is more commonly referred to as a CLI (Command Line Interface) because you have to type commands one at a time. Any version of Windows (from Windows 95 onward), or the Macintosh OS, are operating systems that have a GUI (Graphic User Interface). (Older versions of Windows, such as Windows for Workgroups 3.11, were basically a GUI that ran on top of DOS. You had to start Windows by typing the command WIN at the command line, or add the command to a file called AUTOEXEC.BAT, so that Windows would automatically start when you booted the computer.)
