How To Run Dos Programs in Windows 10 Tutorial

Welcome to "The Teacher" channel! In this tutorial, we'll show you how to run old DOS-based applications in the 64-Bit Edition of Windows 10. Despite the advancements in operating systems, there may be some legacy DOS applications or games you don't want to part with. We've got you covered with a step-by-step guide. Key Points: 1. **Determine Your Windows 10 Edition:** Before you proceed, ensure you know whether you're using a 32-bit or 64-bit edition of Windows 10. To find out, right-click on the Start button, click "System," and check the system section for your Windows 10 edition. 2. **Download Dosbox:** To run DOS applications on a 64-bit edition of Windows 10, you'll need to download and install a third-party application called "Dosbox." This is a popular solution for running DOS applications on modern systems. 3. **Installation of Dosbox:** After downloading Dosbox, install the program. The first time you run it, you'll see a command prompt window. Don't worry; we'll guide you through what to do next. 4. **Mounting Folders:** In Dosbox, you need to mount the folders from your local drive that contain the DOS applications you want to run. You can't mount an entire local drive; you can only mount folders or subfolders. For example, if you have folders named "TURBOC" and "POP" on your local drive, you'd use a command like this: ``` Mount C C:\TURBOC ``` This command creates a new C drive in Dosbox and mounts the "TURBOC" folder from your local drive onto it. 5. **Accessing Mounted Folders:** Once you've mounted a folder, you can access it in Dosbox by typing "C:" (or the drive letter you used) and hitting the Enter key. To see the contents of the mounted folder, you can use the "DIR" command. 6. **Folder Structure:** Dosbox may interpret folder structures differently than your local drive. So, be aware of how Dosbox sees your folders. If there's a conflict in paths within your application or game's configuration settings, you may need to adjust the folder structure. 7. **Handling Multiple Folders:** You can't mount another folder into the same mounted drive in Dosbox. If you want to mount another folder, you have two options: mount it to a different drive in Dosbox, or unmount the current drive and then mount the new folder. 8. **Alternative Drive Mounting:** If your application's configuration doesn't conflict with other drives, you can also mount a folder as a different drive. For example: ``` Mount D C:\POP ``` This command mounts the "POP" folder from your local drive as drive D in Dosbox. 9. **Running Applications:** Once you've mounted the necessary folders, you can access your favorite DOS-based applications or games within Dosbox on your Windows 10 64-Bit Edition. 10. **Conclusion:** We hope this tutorial helps you run your cherished DOS applications in Windows 10.
