    No. The HD 5xxx series (f.i. HD 5200) is the first to support DX 11.

    "I have windows 10 but I still have directx 10.1"

    What brand and model graphics processor does your machine have ?

    Win 10 reports the DX level your graphics processor is capable of using.

    You cannot run DX11 effects on any version of Windows if you don't have a suitable gpu.
