I have used QBasic for years and I wish to use it on my Windows 10 PC as I have a number of essential programs. I can put QBasic.exe and a number of .BAS programs on to a datastick but I can't understand how to load and run them using DOSBox. I am not a DOS expert - sorry. I would welcome your advice. I have already loaded DOSBox onto my PC and have a desktop icon. Thanks -- Robert

This belongs in the DOSBox Forums.

Also, read the 60 seconds Guide, it can help you get started:

Moved to the Dosbox forum.

You can try qbasic64. Also I think you need to read up on basics of Dosbox. Perhaps try the 60 seconds guide.
Also you are not the first one to ask, best use the search
