I am not sure why you think the DOS that Windows comes with is incomplete.
In my case, when I move to a new Windoze computer, the first thing I do is open the file
"MSDOS.SYS" in the root directory and set the line "BootGui=0".

After that, the computer loads DOS and stops, when you turn it on. If you want to continue to
Windows, you type "Win". The DOS that I get there seems quite regular to me. Did you try
this?
