How does one make Quickbasic 4.5 work on a Windows 10 pc?

windows

I have a vested interest in continuing to use Quickbasic because of programs which I have written & want to continue to use & develop.

Though I can write code I am not an expert computer user: therefore I hope for simple answers to my question which is: how does one make QuickBasic work on a Windows 10 pc?

I have tried DOSBox which is supposed to do the trick but I could not get it to work.


A quick search has found several alternatives:

  • QBasic from the Microsoft Store.

    QBasic is Quick Basic interpreter.This application can be used to run quick basic program and software developed for your Windows10 desktop or tablet.

  • QB64 & QBasic 1.1

    QB64 is a modern version of Qbasic and runs natively on Windows 10. QBasic 1.1 needs to be run in DOSBox in-order to run on Windows 10. QB64, QBasic and DOSBox are a free download.

  • qbasic.net contains several downloads. The most pertinent may be:

    • QBasic with MS-DOS or DOSBox
    • QBasic Top 10 Downloads

As I am not using Quickbasic, you will have to test and find the best solution for you.
