Start ... Run ... CMD (press enter)
This starts the Command prompt from here you may be able to run DOS
programs.
Please note there is no guarantee that your programs will run without error
or issue.
You should consider upgrading to a Windows version of the application.

Also Start ... Help and Support and enter DOS then press the white on green
arrow.
This will provide lots of information on running DOS applications etc.
The Help and Support should always be your first point of looking for help.
