=== DOS-based Windows === FreeDOS is able to run [[Windows 1.0x|Microsoft Windows 1.0]] and [[Windows 2.0x|2.0]] releases. [[Windows 3.x]] releases, which had support for [[i386]] processors, cannot fully be run in [[386 Enhanced Mode]],<ref name="Aitor_2014"/> except partially in the experimental FreeDOS [[kernel (operating system)|kernel]] 2037.{{Citation needed |date=February 2017}} [[Windows 95]], [[Windows 98]] and [[Windows Me]] use a stripped-down version of MS-DOS. FreeDOS cannot be used as a replacement because the undocumented interfaces between MS-DOS 7.0β8.0 and Windows "4.xx" are not emulated by FreeDOS; however, it can be installed and used beside these systems using a [[boot manager]] program, such as <code>[[BOOTMGR]]</code> or <code>METAKERN</code> included with FreeDOS.{{Citation needed|date=December 2016}}
