Windows 10: I have directx 12 but my application requires directx 11

Hi, i want to play fortnite on my pc. I have a ati graphics card and it is not letting play fortnite. My directx which is installed is directx 12 and it's feature levels go up to 10. Please someone help me. I have watched a lot of YouTube videos and the all say the same thing. Nothing is working and I have changed my graphic card twice and the notification saying that I require a certain directx is still popping up.

I have DirectX 12, but application requires DirectX 11

Hello.

I do have directX, but just not 11, i have 12. My question is why I cant run a directX 11 app with directX 12. The link sent was a link to the directX installation. Please read the question before posting the answer.

Thanks!

I'm in the same boat, here's what the situation (at least for me) is.

So I have this computer that originally had windows 7. I think it had directx 9 / 10 on it when I got it.

Windows 10 released, and I pumped right up and got Windows 10. Now Along with windows 10 at some time it also got directx 12

Right now I want to get Assassin's Creed, which requires Directx 11. When I check my DirectX version it says "DirectX 12".

But it wont let me play because it thinks that I have the outdated DirectX version.

I can't even download and install the DirectX 11 manually, as it says that there are no downloadable drivers for DirectX 11.

So why can't DirectX 12 handle DirectX 11 games?

Hello Everyone!

On the Windows 10 store, you can get Forza Motorsport. My computer meets all the system requirements, except for one - DirectX 11.

So I checked my PC, and I have DirectX 12, which is better than DirectX 11.

Then why is it that the app isn't compatible? You can run Windows XP on a Surface Book, but not Windows 10 on an old computer!

Shouldn't the same thing happen here?

Thanks for the help!
