1, Windows: A graphical operating system called Windows. It has many versions, the latest version is Windows 10, and the latest version of the server is Windows Server 20 16. Almost all personal computers have Windows pre-installed.
2.MS-DOS: Microsoft's early product, which is a command line interface. Earlier versions of Windows should run under MS-DOS, but products after Windows NT can run without MS-DOS. Because the software and hardware can't work normally under Windows NT, Microsoft has successively introduced transitional products such as Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me running under MS-DOS.
