Windows 10: DirectX 12 on old low end PC?

I don't have a problem, I'm just asking because I'm curious. I have a very old, low-end PC with an Intel Core i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30 GHz with 8GB of RAM and Intel HD Graphics 2000 running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit version 20H2. However, I appear to be running DirectX 12. I wouldn't imagine a computer with specs that low would be able to run DirectX 12, which is why I'm curious

:)

 

Windows 10 DirectX 12

Ehm... no. The DirectX features you're probably missing have nothing to do with your Windows version. The main DirectX 12 advances are bound to hardware requirements (your CPU and GPU must cooperate well to increase performance - low end systems can't
do this, etc.).
