OBJECTIVE
Practice with the most important and most used commands with DOS with
the Windows operating system
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION1
An Operating system (OS) is a software which acts as an interface between the end
user and computer hardware.
Every computer must have at least one OS to run other programs. An application like
Chrome, MS Word, Games, etc needs some environment in which it will run and perform its
task. The OS helps you to communicate with the computer without knowing how to speak th e
computer's language. It is not possible for the user to use any computer or mobile device
without having an operating system.
History Of OS
• Operating systems were first developed in the late 1950s to manage tape storage
• The General Motors Research Lab implemented the first OS in the early 1950s for their
IBM 701
• In the mid-1960s, operating systems started to use disks
• In the late 1960s, the first version of the Unix OS was developed
• The first OS built by Microsoft was DOS. It was built in 1981 by purchasing the 86-DOS
software from a Seattle company
• The present-day popular OS Windows first came to existence in 1985 when a GUI was
created and paired with MS-DOS.

MS-DOS
Today, MS-DOS is no longer used; however, the command sh ell, more commonly
known as the Windows command line is still used by many users. The bottom image is an
example of a Windows command line window running in Microsoft Windows 10.
Most computer users are only familiar with how to navigate Microsoft Windows using
the mouse. Unlike Windows, MS-DOS is navigated by using MS-DOS commands. For
example, if you wanted to see all the files in a folder in Windows you would double-click the
folder to open the folder in Windows Explorer. In MS-DOS, you would navigate to the folder
using the cd command and then list the files in that folder using the dir command.
