Question:

Information about MS-DOS 7.0.

Answer:

The latest stand alone version of MS-DOS is 6.22. Microsoft Windows 95 and 98 included a version of MS-DOS known as 7.0. While a user is capable of utilizing MS-DOS 7.0 through Microsoft Windows, MS-DOS 7.0 cannot be purchased as a stand alone version and requires Microsoft Windows be installed to run.

MS-DOS 7.0 is capable of running many of the commands available in in previous versions of MS-DOS. However, some of the commands are no longer available in MS-DOS 7.0. If a command is not available in MS-DOS 7.0 (Windows 95 and above) we have listed it in our command reference found on our MS-DOS page. Additionally, if a command is not available in MS-DOS 7.0 there is no method of getting older MS-DOS commands working in MS-DOS 7.0
