Windows 10: DirectX 9

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 that came with Windows 10, but the hard drive failed and it was replaced with another hard drive with Windows 10 on it, too. I tried installing GMod off of Steam, and it says it's missing a .dll file that has to do with DirectX 9. I tried fully reinstalling DirectX 9, but I can't install it on Windows 10. It says that it can only run on up to Windows 7 or XP.


Is there anyone who could help me with this on here or should I ask this again on Steam?

:)

 

Microsoft Store: DirectX 9 required

We appreciate the update. Since the issue is still the same even if you have DirectX 9 or later, we suggest that you reinstall your graphic card drivers instead. Follow the steps below:

• Press Windows Key + X and choose Device Manager.
• Go to Display Adapters section and locate your graphic card driver.
• Right click the driver and choose Uninstall.
• Check Remove the driver software for this device and click
  OK.
• After you’ve uninstalled the driver, restart your computer.
• When your computer restarts, go to your graphic card manufacturer’s website and download the latest drivers for your graphic card.
• Install the downloaded drivers.

Let us know how it goes.

 

DirectX 9

Thank you for your response. The 9th version of Direct X had already been downloaded and installed. From this page. My graphics card probably is not compatible with DirectX 9 or Windows 10 can not use the DirectX version 9 for an unknown reason.

 

DirectX 9

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, my problem remains. The latest version of DirectX is downloaded and installed. In addition, the latest update for DirectX 9 is also downloaded and installed. But when installing Microsoft's Store Apps, I still
encounter this message: "Direct X 9 is required"
