Below I have listed all versions of DirectX and the compatible systems, and how to get each version. If you have problems on DirectX, or want to get a better performance on your games and multimedia applications, updating your DirectX to the latest version may be a fix. How to Get Proper DirectX for Your Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP?Īctually, DirectX is included by default on all modern Windows systems such as Windows 10, Windows 8.1, 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and XP. Your audio and video playback may also be impacted negatively. So we make it plain, without proper DirectX installed on your Windows, your games, and other multimedia applications may not execute correctly. (I posted this on the Windows 10 subreddit but realized it would get hidden under other posts anyway) Good news is that in the upcoming months I will be building my first desktop computer to replace this laptop.How to Download and Install DirectX for Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, XP, VistaĪccording to the reference of Wikipedia, DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming, video, graphics and high-end-3D applications, on Microsoft platforms. I know Windows 8.1 and 10 have performance improvements overall, but I don't feel like my laptop is really making use of that, and currently my CPU isn't that bad, my integrated graphics is bad, and therfore improving it's performance in any way possible is priority. If I go back to Windows 7, can I expect better performance with Directx 8.1 ? Or gaming in general since my card only has a driver up to 7? Whether that means it doesn't support it fully, or the performance is degraded I am not sure, which is what my question is. Now I want to play Morrowind, which can even mess with modern systems, but it's a Directx 8.1 game, and from what I know Windows 8 and onward doesn't support the Directx 8 the same way 7, Vista and XP did.
I currently run Windows 10, and I love it, but obviously I have a garbage computer, and use drivers that are for Windows 7 (Intel considers this legacy hardware) My laptop is sporting the Intel Core i3 Core m380 2.53ghz processor with an Arrandale Intel HD 1000 and 4 GB of ram.
