News Directstorage no longer a Windows 11 exclusive...(?)

[alceryes]

It seems that the Directstorage API will be usable in WIndows 10 (1909 and newer) and game developers only need to implement in once in the game (boolean switch?).
We still don't know how much of an improvement Directstorage will bring to the table but interesting info nonetheless.

Windows 11's best gaming feature now being enabled in Windows 10

Microsoft confirms DirectStorage is compatible with Windows 10 so developers "can reach as many gamers as possible."

No one should be on 1909 anyway so making it work for that version seems rather strange. Its has gone out of support as of 21H1 release.

1 less reason why anyone would want win 11... and yet they come (sorry, war of the worlds reference)

Still waiting for an amazing reason to get win 11 apart from it looks pretty

Sorry for the off topic, but i wanted to say, right now is a beta full of bugs, no reason to upgrade. Hope in 1 year or so to become a final polished product but right now is a mess (like any new iteration of windows in the last 20 years).
