MS-DOS 7 is a real mode operating system for IBM PC compatibles. Unlike earlier versions of MS-DOS, it was not released separately by Microsoft,[3] but included in the Windows 9x family of operating systems.[4] Windows 95 RTM reports it as MS-DOS 7.0,[5] and Windows 95 OSR 2.x and Windows 98 report as 7.1.[5] The real-mode MS-DOS 7.x is contained in the IO.SYS file.[6]
