Can i upgrade to MS-DOS v6 or v6.22
parkint:
As sword stated, you boot from the MSDOS 6.22 floppy.
Then, at the command line, issue the "sys" command with the designation of your hardrive. For example
sys c:
It will install the three (hidden) OS files on the C drive. That's it!

The last MS-DOS was version 8, produced in year 2000.-Curt (June 04, 2010, 11:45 AM)

I thought MS-DOS 7 was the last version? And that 6.22 was the last real version with all the utilities (including qbasic), whereas 7 was a stripped-down version included with some Win9x variant?
Of course NT is build upon MS-DOS, but that doesn't make it MS-DOS, it is still NT.-Curt (June 04, 2010, 11:45 AM)

NT has nothing whatsoever to do with MS-DOS. Win9x included DOS and was pretty much a "dos extender on steroids", NT is a truly standalone OS that doesn't depend on DOS.
Curt:
- maybe version 8.0 was called ME-DOS ???
MS-DOS development originally started in 1981,[2] and was first released in 1982 as MS-DOS 1.0[2]. Several versions were released under different names for different hardware[3]. MS-DOS had eight major versions released before Microsoft stopped development in 2000.

-no, you're right.
They talked about using MS-DOS for OS/2, after Me on MS-DOS, but gave it up for 2000 on NT.
Sorry!

It might have been included in WinMe - I never used that Windows version much... funny that the sidebar on the MS-DOS wiki article says latest version is 8.0, whereas the "History" in the article doesn't mention later than 7 :)

Actually DOS was shot down much earlier than Win2000 - afaik it has never been part of NT at all; I don't have personal experience with NT versions older than 4.0, though. Win2k=NT5.0, XP=NT5.1, Vista=NT6.0, Win7=NT6.1.
32bit NT versions do contain a real-mode emulation subsystem, though, but it's an emulation and not DOS as such.
