    MS-DOS was a non-graphical command line operating system created by Microsoft in 1981 based on 86-DOS. It allowed users to manipulate files and navigate the computer using commands instead of a graphical user interface. While MS-DOS is no longer used today, its command shell is still utilized in the Windows command line. MS-DOS differed from Windows in that it was navigated through commands rather than a mouse, such as using "cd" and "dir" commands to change folders and view files.

    MS-DOS

    Short for Microsoft Disk Operating


    System, MS-DOS is a non-graphical
    command line operating system derived
    from 86-DOS that was created for IBM
    compatible computers. MS-DOS originally
    written by Tim Paterson and introduced
    by Microsoft in August 1981 and was last
    updated in 1994 when MS-DOS 6.22 was
    released. MS-DOS allows the user to
    navigate, open, and otherwise manipulate
    files on their computer from a command
    line instead of a GUI like Windows.

    Today, MS-DOS is no longer used;


    however, the command shell, 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.
