Check Direct X Version in Windows

I have recently been having problems getting games to work in Windows. Finding the version of Direct X installed on my PC was key in troubleshooting the issues. Here’s how you can find the version.

1. Click “Start” > “Run” or hold down the “Windows Key” and press “R“.
2. Type “dxdiag“, then click “OK“.
3. The version of DirectX you are currently running will be displayed on your screen.

The command works on all current versions of Windows.
