Hi, As you can imagine I have another PC downstairs (sisters) which she has just restored due to a virus. She uses her TV as the monitor and the problem is she can't remember where she was to type in a command other than it was at a DOS command prompt. mThey are trying to do so thru the windows based DOS command prompt. How do you get into DOS prior to windows loading. I know ther is a function key but not sure which one it is. If you can help it would be greatly appreciated? Please help. Thanks! I didn't find the right solution from the Internet. References:https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/how-can-i-get-to-dos-command-prompt-please-help-124906/ Whiteboard Explainer

If there is no DOS command box icon, or, the run command box is not present, then you can copy and paste the following into a text file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt] @=”Command Prompt:” [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt\Command] @=”cmd.exe /k cd %1?
Rename CmdPrompt.txt to CmdPrompt.reg. Double click on and accept usage of CmdPrompt.reg -- that will give you the context-menu right-click followed with the left click on "command prompt here" access to a DOS command box anywhere within explorer.exe, on its left-side or right-side pane -- depending upon which Windows version/edition.
