In the 32-bit version you can install the optional feature "NTVDM", then use fondue.exe to enable it. In the 64-bit version, no.

You could always use Hyper-V and create a generation 1 virtual machine and install MS-DOS there.

Well, there is NTVDMx64. It is based on leaked source code of the original NTVDM.

There's also MS-DOS Player, which can run DOS programs off the command line.
Once installed in a directory that is in the path= variable, someone just has to type "msdos yourapp.exe".

With 3rd party software you can run DOS and Win16 apps on x64 Windows. That's exactly what was holding me on x86 until those VMs were made.
