I appreciate the quick reply, unfortunately I find it difficult to complete the second step, as the link leads to a list of over 20 downloads and the release times and labels do not make it clear as to what's defined as "the latest version of DirectX" and
all that I can find on the website labeled as such only contains a document to download and not the software.
