Put floopy in and go to file and click explore. You may have to go to view and tell it to show all files. You version should be in first lines.

If this is a boot floppy, you may see the version displayed while DOS is loading.

For 3.5" floppies, the common versions of DOS are:

4
5
6
6.22
W95 (7)
W98
XP

The easiest way to tell the dos version is to boot from that floppy.

You will get to the A> prompt.

Type in VER and press the key.

the VER command is a builtin command in dos that will tell you what version it is.

Howdy,

Look at the file creation date, (especially of msdos.sys, io.sys, and command.com) . . .
