I would NOT import a working DOS system onto a Windows computer !!!
Ever !!!

If I had an ailing laptop, I would just copy all my DOS stuff onto a
different machine. I have done this several times already, and will do
it again if it becomes necessary.

I assume you have a good reason for moving into a Windows environment ?
Or do you ?

Why ? If it works, why change it ?
Surely it must be easier to obtain another machine with clean HDs, than to
attempt inserting a working system into a dubious Windows DOS-POX.
