DOS, like Windows is an operating system (although quite different). Going
back some while now it was necessary for programmers to specify not only
what was to be done but also how it should be done. For example the
computer needed to be told what part of memory should be used for a process
and how to save to disk. It is these very basic processes which are
included in an operating system.

It is possible to execute DOS commands in Windows.

I hope that answers your query.
