Microsoft is pleased to announce that we have ported the user mode D3D12 runtime to Windows 7. After seeing such performance wins for their gamers running DirectX 12 on Windows 10, Blizzard wanted to bring wins to their gamers who remain on Windows 7, where DirectX 12 was not available.Īt Microsoft, we make every effort to respond to customer feedback, so when we received this feedback from Blizzard and other developers, we decided to act on it. This release received a warm welcome from gamers: thanks to DirectX 12 features such as multi-threading, WoW gamers experienced substantial framerate improvement. If 8.1 ever becomes unviable for me I'll likely migrating to a non Microsoft OS like some form of Linux in the future.Blizzard added DirectX 12 support for their award-winning World of Warcraft game on Windows 10 in late 2018. ![]() Data privacy and Microsoft's terrible Windows Update policy regarding that OS are just a couple of factors. There's a lot of issues I have with that OS. Eventually though I may attempt updating my current 7 install to that. I'm really only still on 7 currently because I have tons of apps I installed over the years that I'm just too lazy to reinstall + there's a few things that will probably not work in 8 that I may still want to use. You can install some third party tools to make the GUI (like the start menu) look more like 7's. (Windows update on 8.1 is more like 7's).

Dont' recall if DX12 ever got support in Windows 8.1. ![]()
