The autoexec.bat and the config.sys were files created for MS-DOS and Windows 3.x as an easy solution of loading the files required for various devices as well as the operating system to properly run. These files are required for later revisions of MS-DOS and Windows 3.x to load. Because Microsoft is trying to steer away from MS-DOS, these files are not required for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or later operating systems. However, in some cases it may still be necessary for users to edit or configure these files.

Both of these are legacy files and not really needed on current operating systems by microsoft. The autoexec.bat starts programs, and ran batch files. The config.sys loaded drivers and configured them.

The config.sys tells MS-DOS which peripherals and devices are installed on your computer. Only in MS-DOS 4.0 or higher, may programs may be started in config.sys.
