^dx12 does not overwrite previous versions.
If you use the update you will have dx9/10/11 & 12 installed on your PC.
Games/software will use whatever DX version driver it is coded for.
You have nothing to worry about- there's no reason not to update it.

Nvidia released a fully dx12 compliant driver set 2 days ago - not sure about amd as I haven't switched my other rig on for a week.

The current GTX 9xxs and Titan X are fully dx12 compatible and so are the AMD Fury cards.

No it's not. It is exclusive to Windows 10. You have to get windows 10 in order to get directx 12. Luckily the upgrade from 8.1 to 10 is free for most.

So win win. And it's a great os.

Yeah,but what if I don't have compatible audio drivers yet?
P.S:If you don't install any updates on W10,it will still show DX12,unlike 8.1? (when it requires an update to do that)
