Some YouTube clips suggest getting the driver after updating Windows, but you can still download drivers manually for Windows 11. Austin might be right, and Chris Titus Tech has visuals to back it up. Windows 11 supports Windows 10 apps, so it should work with Windows 10 drivers too.
Intel, Nvidia and AMD have unveiled their initial set of Windows 11 graphics drivers. You’ll need to navigate the website to locate them. Since this is the first release for an OS still under development, anticipate some challenges and typical updates. In the meantime, you can apply Windows 10 driver versions. Technically, Windows 11 introduces WDDM 2.0 and updated driver formats. The current WDDM 3.0 version was added in Windows 11. For details on changes between versions, visit the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Di...l#WDDM_3.0. Regarding other hardware support, a new Windows Drivers model is available at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...ws-drivers, which became standard in later Windows 10 releases (version 2004 onward) and works with Windows 11. Nonetheless, Windows 11 continues to maintain compatibility with the older driver framework, referred to by Microsoft as the 'Windows Desktop Driver'—a name that may change as Microsoft adjusts its roadmap (notably, Windows 10X is no longer supported). This newer model enhances security and system reliability, supporting the push for modern hardware and official Windows 11 support.
