Microsoft DirectStorage is also coming to Windows 10 and will not be a Windows 11 exclusive

Microsoft made a 180-degree turn, they wanted to make DirectStorage a Windows 11 exclusive, but that no longer is the case. At the end of April, we talked about Xbox's Microsoft DirectStorage API, which leverages quicker NVME SSDs to decrease loading times. Video cards may access data straight from the CPU on this disk. That makes performance considerably higher.

In reality, in the Xbox Wire post of Microsoft's Sara Bond gaming division, Microsoft talked exclusively about support for Windows 11 and claimed DirectStorage is only available for Windows 11, too. However, the firm located in Redmond revealed this weekend that the technology will also be brought to Windows 10. Hassan Uraizee, Microsoft Program Manager, announced in a blog post that version 1909 and above is DirectStorage sdk compliant. Uraizee didn't tell when the technology for Windows 10 will be released.

The API on the PC is supported not just in PCIe 4.0 SSDs but on PCIe 3.0 versions.
