How to install Windows 11 on a FreeDos computer?

In today’s world where technology is rapidly developing, buying a new computer can be a source of great excitement. However, some users can choose computers based on price and performance and purchase FreeDOS computers (without an operating system installed). These types of computers can be more affordable, but users must install an operating system such as Windows themselves. At this point, we have prepared a guide that explains the Windows installation process step by step.

How to install Windows 11 on a FreeDos computer?

Step 1: Required tools and preparation

If you bought a new FreeDOS computer, the first thing you need to do is download the Windows ISO file. You can legally obtain this file from Microsoft’s official website. Next, you need to burn this ISO file to a USB memory using software like Rufus. We recommend that your USB memory is 3.0 as this will speed up the installation process.

Step 2: Starting the computer and setup

When you turn on your computer, you will be greeted with the BIOS or calibration menu. You can start the installation process by selecting your USB memory from this menu. If you do not know how to enter the BIOS, you can learn the key combinations, which may vary depending on the brand and model of your computer, on the internet.

Step 3: Windows installation process

After inserting the USB memory into the computer, your computer will recognize this memory as a boot device and the Windows installation screen will appear. From here you can follow these steps:

Select the Windows version (For example, Windows 11 Home or Pro).
Select the installation type (Custom installation, because upgrades cannot be performed on a FreeDOS computer).
Partition the disk and choose a space to install Windows.
Start the installation and follow the instructions.
Step 4: Installing drivers and software

After completing the Windows installation, you may need to install the necessary drivers for your computer’s hardware to function properly. To do this, you can download and install driver packages suitable for your computer’s brand and model from the manufacturer’s website. Updating important drivers, especially video card and network drivers, will increase the performance of your computer.

When you get a new FreeDOS computer, installing the operating system can be daunting. However, you can easily install Windows step by step by following this guide. With your USB memory and a little patience, you can have your computer ready for use in a short time.
