However, after 12 years of existence as an application in the Windows operating system and almost completely disappeared from universal textbooks using computers, DOS resurrected.

This is a true operating system, meaning that you can install it independently on a PC and use it to run DOS applications. It can also be used in devices such as financial test cards, embedded devices . as an embedded operating system.

This operating system is not developed by Microsoft but is an open source software. After a long time of not being used, the role of this product is still very small. FreeDOS can be used as an operating system for older computers.

Supporting the management of FAT32 file system, in addition to the management programs that use memory better than the old MS DOS operating system, FreeDOS can be used to run old DOS chapters, used in devices. embedded, as well as installed into raw computers. A raw computer is a computer sold that includes only hardware, no software installation.
