'I have a new HP laptop - I think it's a bit ridiculous that my computer is now too advanced..'

- Which HP Laptop ? Did the laptop come with Win10 pre-installed ?

Check which version of DirectX is installed. The DxDiag tool reports detailed information about the DirectX components and drivers installed on your system and can be used. From Start, type dxdiag in the Search box, and then press enter. Tap or click on dxdiag from the results.

Directx 9 Windows 10 Download

Which game will not run ? Is it disk based or from Steam or another download site ?

List some details of what is, or is not happening , including any fixes you have already tried.

'My games won't play because they ran on DirectX 9.0c on Windows XP. '

- Nothing to do directly with either DX9 or Win10 not having DX9 . Win10 has all of the DirectX files.

DX9.0c is not a single file. That is the title of the older installer.

There are many DX9 files, and games select specific DX files that they run on.

The June2010 installer (bottom of post) has all the same DX9 files as the 2009 installer, but also has

the most recent DX9 files (d3dx9_42 & 43); the most recent DX10, and DX11 files.

Win7/8/8.1 all have three versions of DX - 9,10 & 11.

Win10 also has DirectX 12 (only two graphics related DX12 files that I am aware of atm).

I believe DX12 will be getting updates via Windows updates when available.

- The following is a list of the Direct X .dll's you will have when the files are up to date.
There are more DX files (Xinput and audio), but these are most of the graphics related Direct X .dll's

- Go to the Windows System 32 folder, (and SysWOW64 if you have 64bit).
They are in alphabetical order and will start with d3dx9_24 > 43 . Then d3dx10_33 > 43
& finally d3dx11_42 > 43.
There should also be - d3d9, d3d10 and d3d11. These come before the D3Dcompilers - 33>43.
The DirectX Web installer will install any 'missing' DX files

(generally more useful with a 'clean' Windows 7 install, as it was released a bit before the most recent files.

I can't comment on clean Win8/8.1/10 but would hope that MS has there act together enough to

have included the 'latest' files - from way back in June 2010).

The full DX installer (June 2010) overwrites all DX files.

This is the best option if all files are installed and there is suspicion of a corrupt file, but obviously can

be used instead of the Web Installer.

Had the same problem when i tried to run an older game on Windows-10, it complained about a missing dll d3dx9_41.dll.

You can download the 'DirectX end user runtimes' from Microsofts website. The exact version depends on the file which is required by your application, in my case it was directx_mar2009_redist.exe.

To find the correct version i analyzed the error message. If the missing file is for example d3dx9_41.dll, it means that DirectX-9 version 41 is required. The list below shows the available DirextX-9 versions, the version can be found at the third column. This gives you a clue of what to search for, the keywords directx Mar2009 lead me to the microsoft download page.

Maybe it is also possible to just install the latest one from June 2010, i'm not sure if it contains the earlier versions too.

The DirectX built into Windows 10 is compatible with DirectX 9, 10 and 11.
So you shouldn't try to install an older DirectX version manually at all. You can really screw up your Windows installation that way.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of programs (mainly old games) that try to install DirectX by themselves or test for the presence of a certain DirectX version in an incorrect way, which causes them to miss that DirectX is already present.

There is really no good solution to that.
If the installer of the old program is brain dead you can't really cure that.

Sometimes it helps to run the installer in 'compatibility mode' for XP-SP3.
In some other cases, you can force the installer to continue anyway and the game will just work despite the errors during the installation.
And sometimes you are just out of luck.

You may have to experiment a little to see what works best in your particular case.

That is because you are trying to install DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime for Windows 2000 to XP SP1. Your link is the download page for this item, look for System requirements section below all items on Microsoft website (note it has the same id in the URL).
