Warning

  • Do not press F10 to shut MS-DOS 7.1, it causes very strange behaviour from the computer.
  • MS-DOS 7.1 was not made by Microsoft so there are unlikely to be future updates for it.
  • When downloading anything, always scan it with an anti virus software (even from genuine websites). Sometimes they can be hacked and instead of the genuine software being downloaded, a virus could be downloaded instead
  • This is a heavily modified version of MS DOS and it's unclear how stable and reliable the operating system is so back up your hard drive constantly if you decide to use the operating system.
  • If you purchase a used floppy disk for a program for MS DOS, be wary as sometimes they contain viruses.
  • Repeated to stress importance: Do NOT move the mouse whilst the computer is restarting or it will crash on boot up.
