According to Verizon, Win 10 minimum requirements include WDDM (1.0 or better?)
 * Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX® 9 graphics device with WDDM driver	;
 * Start+R | dxdiag | Display | Drivers: {look for any mention of "WDDM"}
 * (Start+R | dxdiag | System: {look for any mention of "DirectX")


 * Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz)
 * RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit) ;{note that a 32b program usually wastes half of any 64b RAM
 * (Novice explanation: 
 * b=bit; B=byte=8 bits; 
 * A '__-bit memory or machine' means that a 'word' in that system is __ bits. 
 * A word is usually 2, 4, or 8 bytes. = A word is usually 16, 32 or 64 bits.)}

WDDM 1.3
Article needs update. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn265512(v=vs.85).aspx

- handle resources that are shared between integrated and discrete GPUs.

YUV format ranges in Windows 8.1 Preview An interface that's used to signal user-mode display drivers that video inputs are either in the studio luminance range or in the extended range.

- Wireless displays (Miracast)

- Multiplane overlay support

Supposedly Fermi-based Nvidia GPUs should be 1.3 capable given Win 8.1 and new drivers.

Stop adding things without reliable sources
Please, stop adding things without reliable sources as reference. Wikipedia is not an archive where everyone can copy&paste things from the net without reliable sources. Moreover, excessive details, even with proven sources, are against Wikipedia rules. And please, write a decent English. --AlessioT89 (talk) 12:34, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * So I made a sunto from a useless copy&paste from Microsoft docs and removed undocumented claims. --AlessioT89 (talk) 16:01, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Good example, WDDM 3.2 didn't make it into Windows 11 version 23H2 (which is an incremental update instead of a full build) but instead is appearing in 24H2. 2603:7080:C438:E8CE:A025:195A:5438:5291 (talk) 18:28, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * At this point, the WDDM 3.2 article continues to be improperly sourced, specifically the news article on 23H2 has no mention of WDDM and neither does the SM6.8 article. 2603:7080:C438:E8CE:906F:8EF4:A6CD:A540 (talk) 17:41, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
