Close, but not quite accurate. MBR can be used on any disk which contains up
to 2^32 (4G) *sectors*, not necessa
Hey richardkolacz101:
I think that I understand the reason of the "inflated Windows Pro price
from HP" (when comparing if you purchased Windows 10 from an independent
vendor).
I got my computers refurbished from a church charity.

I accidentally hit "send" while switching tabs, and it was too late
when I came back.
`dd` is not a replacement for tools such as Acronis because:

Yes and no. Mostly no.

There is no such thing as FreeDOS 3.0 and never has been. Maybe

Hi! Not sure whether I understand you correctly, but...
Why are 256 GB SSD, 32 GB RAM and 3k display too little?
Certainly not for DOS :-)
And why would it not be possible to install Windows on
a disk larger than 256 GB? That sounds more like some
license issue (Windows may think you install i

To whom?
Dell offered systems through Walmart a while back that did not have
Windows per-installed. They dropped the offer. The systems without
Windows did not *sell*.
Laptops with FreeDOS / Linux instead of Windows - are really valuable!
At least because the price of the Win license is included in the
laptop price, and nobody in their right mind wants to pay an extra $30
for this glitchy "air". I'd spend these $30 on a RAM upgrade, or
donate these $30 to some op
When a laptop manufacturer says the computer supports FreeDOS, it's
their way of stating 2 facts:
1. Their UEFI has CSM support.
2. They offer selling this laptop without a Windows license.

Yeah. If you absolutely want to develop software for bare-metal FreeDOS,
you probably want to do it on compatible hardware. That concerns network
cards, VESA and ISA sound cards mostly. As soon as you set foot on a PCI
sound card or newer, you're in Windows land. Going back to DOS from this
