DOS commands are the commands available in MS-DOS that are used to interact with the operating system and other command line based software.
System Version Command
Jul 18, 2019 To check version from Windows command prompt, at first you have to download Java and then save the Java bin file address to Windows environment variable and than you have to open Command Prompt and enter Java where you have installed the Java version.
Unlike in Windows, DOS commands are the primary way in which you use the operating system. Windows and other modern OSs use a graphics-based system designed for touch or a mouse.
DOS Commands in Windows: If you use Windows (like Windows 10, 8, 7, etc.) then you have no need for DOS commands because you don't have MS-DOS. The commands in Windows are available from the Command Prompt and are called Command Prompt commands or CMD commands, but they are not DOS commands.
Instead, check out our List of Windows CMD Commands for all of the command-line options you have available to you in Windows. We also have a command comparison table to show which commands are available in different Microsoft operating systems.
Below is a complete list of MS-DOS commands, commonly referred to as just DOS commands, available as of MS-DOS 6.22:
If you're interested, we also keep Windows-specific lists, which you can find in these Windows 8 commands, Windows 7 commands, Windows Vista commands, and Windows XP commands documents.
