    On Windows 11 Home, dxdiag says OS is Windows NT, and directx is really old version 6


    My machine is Windows 11 Home updated from 10. But dxdiag says my OS is "Windows NT"! I guess that's the reason my DirectX is v6.02 even though my card supports DirectX12.Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Is it even possible to install DirectX in Windows NT 4.0? I install Service Pack 6 and Dxdiag not working.

    Dxdiag showing version 11 instead of 6 (maybe)

    Hi! I recently installed windows 7 on my old pc. It has 2gb ram and Intel Core 2 Duo. I went to dxdiag to check the DirectX version, but it shows it as DirectX 11. I'm pretty sure DirectX 11 needs 8 gb ram. I used a 3rd party software (IObit Driver Booster) to see the DX version and it shows it as 6. I am thoroughly confused. What to do and how to fix it? Edit: And also, if this PC supports DX 9, then why does windows 7 install DX 6 (maybe)? And I tried to play a game that relies on DX, called Dangranronpa Trigger Happy Havoc, and it shows a dll error regarding DX. I ran it using OpenGL and it worked fine.

    On Windows 11 Home, dxdiag says OS is Windows NT, and directx is really old version 6

    DX10 - the latest version?

    Windows XP = DirectX 9.0c
    Windows Vista = DirectX 10.1
    Windows 7 = DirectX 11


    Running dxdiag will tell you what version is installed.
