I have a nvidia geforce 9300m GS 256 MB. I assume it is A MicrosoftDirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver?
So direct x9 is 2007 or so vintage and I have a WDDM DRIVER FOR WIN 7. NOW WHY CAN'T I INSTALL WIN 8.1 PREVIEW. Retail stores are selling 8 with computers with BIOS not UEFI...
Portions of DX11.1 are being made available to Windows 7 users via the new IE10 Preview for Windows 7. If you don't wish to use the browser but do want the extensions then a standalone is available here:
