I have an example (from Dell): https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-ca/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=tjgkp&oscode=w764&productcode=optiplex-3020m-desktop the page says: "This file format consists of a BIOS executable file. The Universal (Windows/MS DOS) format can be used to install from

(while reading question 1 of the survey...) More than once, I saw a motherboard manufucturer (I think it is ASUS) claiming to have FreeDOS exe to upgrade the BIOS but found the programs were Windows exe and would not run on FreeDOS. It is becoming less a problem because UEFI firmware (EzFla

Re: [Freedos-user] upgrading to windows

Others have answered this pretty well. Microsoft Windows doesn't care about FreeDOS, so if you buy a server with FreeDOS on it (which is cool) and want to put Windows server on it instead, you will need to do a reinstall. That means you'll need a licensed full copy (not an upgrade) of Windows S
