HUGE difference.
DOS - as in FreeDos is NOT Windows 7 (or any other version of Windows for that matter).
FreeDos can have programs that will run in a window but Windows programs don't run in FreeDos. For example, most games run on Windows but won't work in FreeDos.

DOS is not the best choice for an OS in a modern laptop. Linux - also a free OS - is a much better choice IMO. Example: Ubuntu Desktop
Linux does support RAM above 1GB. FreeDos does not (except at extended memory/RAM disk).

Laptop does not care what OS you use. B560/B570 can use FreeDos/Linux/Windows.
