Win 10 requires WDDM (check from Win 7)[edit]

According to Verizon, Win 10 minimum requirements include WDDM (1.0 or better?)

Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX® 9 graphics device with WDDM driver ;

Start+R | dxdiag | Display | Drivers: {look for any mention of "WDDM"}

(Start+R | dxdiag | System: {look for any mention of "DirectX")

Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz)
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)_{;{note that a 32b program usually wastes half of any 64b RAM}

(Novice explanation:

b=bit; B=byte=8 bits;

A '__-bit memory or machine' means that a 'word' in that system is __ bits.

A word is usually 2, 4, or 8 bytes. = A word is usually 16, 32 or 64 bits.)}

Free hard disk space: 16 GB
A Microsoft® account and Internet access _{; see MSN, OneDrive, Hotmail, etc.}

WDDM 1.3[edit]

Article needs update. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn265512(v=vs.85).aspx

- handle resources that are shared between integrated and discrete GPUs.

YUV format ranges in Windows 8.1 Preview An interface that's used to signal user-mode display drivers that video inputs are either in the studio luminance range or in the extended range.

- Wireless displays (Miracast)

- Multiplane overlay support

Supposedly Fermi-based Nvidia GPUs should be 1.3 capable given Win 8.1 and new drivers.

Stop adding things without reliable sources[edit]

Please, stop adding things without reliable sources as reference. Wikipedia is not an archive where everyone can copy&paste things from the net without reliable sources. Moreover, excessive details, even with proven sources, are against Wikipedia rules. And please, write a decent English. --AlessioT89 (talk) 12:34, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So I made a sunto from a useless copy&paste from Microsoft docs and removed undocumented claims. --AlessioT89 (talk) 16:01, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good example, WDDM 3.2 didn't make it into Windows 11 version 23H2 (which is an incremental update instead of a full build) but instead is appearing in 24H2. 2603:7080:C438:E8CE:A025:195A:5438:5291 (talk) 18:28, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At this point, the WDDM 3.2 article continues to be improperly sourced, specifically the news article on 23H2 has no mention of WDDM and neither does the SM6.8 article. 2603:7080:C438:E8CE:906F:8EF4:A6CD:A540 (talk) 17:41, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
