You can simply back up the kernel file and the console.
Back up COMMAND.COM, KERNEL.SYS, IO.SYS, IBMIO.SYS, etc., in your root
directory, and then just replace those same files for the files from FreeDOS
1.2.

this, I've yet to find anything… I'm currently primarily a Windows user,
though I started using PCs with MS-DOS many years ago (first OS was MS-DOS
version 3.2!). I finally gave-in to using Win (very reluctantly) way back in
1995. Can anyone advise an aged ex-DOS-user?
BTW, my old 1.1 installation works fine, I mostly only use it for running old
MS-DOS games. 1.1 has run most all my old stuff surprisingly well. The few
that didn't run, I don't know if it is because of a graphics issue (most
likely) or a 1.1 issue. I didn't know if the 1.2 upgrade would fix some of
these issues. I know it would be easier to just forego any kind of upgrade,
but...
