What is the minimum display technology required for Windows 8?

  1. DX8.0

  2. DX9.0

  3. DX9.0 with WDDM 1.0

  4. DX10

The correct answer is: DX9.0

The minimum display technology required for Windows 8 is DX9.0. While DX8.0 is a previous version, it does not meet the requirements for Windows 8. As for the other options, DX9.0 with WDDM 1.0 and DX10 are newer versions but are not the minimum requirement. It's important to note that Windows 8 also supports newer versions of display technology, so if your system has DX10 or higher, it will work fine with Windows 8. However, DX9.0 is the lowest version that is necessary for proper functioning of Windows 8.
