Win7 has been abandoned. I want to install Win8

with DirectX11.1. Microsoft introduced the latest Windows 8 operating system two weeks ago, and DirectX 11.1, one of the new features of the system, has quickly become the focus of attention. It is reported that DirectX 11.1 is the latest version of Microsoft's 3D graphics API, which adds native support for 3D image output compared to DirectX 11.

This means that any game and application that supports DirectX 11.1 will allow users to view stereo content directly through 3D glasses. For previous versions of DirectX to achieve the same effect, you need to use a graphics card that supports NVIDIA 3D Vision or AMD HD3D technology.

However, Microsoft seems to only intend to let DirectX 11.1 support the latest Windows 8, Windows RT and Windows Server 2012 operating systems, for Windows 7 users who want to use DirectX 11.1 and do not want to upgrade Windows 8 operating system. Undoubtedly a bad news.

Microsoft Answers Forum staff Daniel Moth said in a recent reply: "DirectX 11.1 in Windows 8 is like DirectX 11 in Windows 7, and will appear as an important feature of the operating system. Unlike Vista, which has the same DirectX 11 support, Microsoft does not currently have any plans to provide DirectX 11.1 for Windows 7. ”

In this regard, the foreign Neowin website specifically contacted Microsoft, but the answer was: "No comment." ”
