DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) developed by Microsoft for Windows for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming, and video. It is available for Microsoft platforms. Initially, DirectX was not included with Windows and you had to download it from the web and install it. Starting with the release of Windows 8 Developer Preview, DirectX SDK has been integrated into Windows SDK. So if you are using the latest version of Windows, Windows 11, then DirectX is already included with the release. So how to download DirectX?
