I have just upgraded to 10 and cannot play some games because it requires DirectX. Does windows10 not come with this. If it does how do I activate it?
Since I upgraded to windows 10 my Bigfish games will not play in full mode

2015-08-16T18:36:10+00:00 I am having a similar problem playing some bigfish games, namely the nancy drew series. I get an error that says either it needs directx to play or directwrite is not supported. Is there any solution to this in windows10?
