The development of every game takes place on a different version of DirectX.

We cant deny that Microsoft has started looking after their PC platform gamers.

They have introduced tools which are very useful to gamers and also game developers.

But the most important thing that helps a gamer and a game developer is the DirectX.

Most of the people have heard the name but dont know its application.

Directx Install It On

So lets see what it is all about and how you can install it on your PC.

Gamers dont have identical PCs, they get components from a pool of manufacturers in the market.

Game developers use these to develop games which are compatible with every hardware irrespective of the manufacturer.

Some new competitors for Microsofts DirectX are the Vulcan Runtime Libraries.

Now, Microsoft has included DirectX as a part of Windows Operating System.

Now all you have to do is check which version is currently present on your system.

If not then you might not have the latest Windows updates installed.

DirectX update is delivered through the Windows Update along with other critical updates.

To fix this go to Settings Update and Recovery Windows Update and click Check for Updates.

The latest version of DirectX is not compatible with all the versions of Windows.

So we need to get the latest version according to the version of Windows installed.

Directx Windows 7 You Must

But to install version 11.1 on your Windows 7 you must update to Windows 7 Service Pack 1.

The update can be downloaded automatically with the help of Windows Update.

If you are facing trouble with Windows Update you can also download it manually.

This is because since they are much older versions, therefore the gamers must not be playing recently released games on them.

Anyway, the latest DirectX version for Windows Vista is DirectX 11.0 which requires Service Pack 2.

Some of you might also have seen more than one version installed on your machine.
