Recommended Free Tools
To check whether your PC meets Minecraft Dungeons II’s requirements, compare its Windows version and architecture, processor, RAM, graphics card and video memory, and DirectX version with the game’s official minimum or recommended tier. Find most of those details in Windows Settings and DxDiag; verify the exact GPU model and dedicated VRAM separately.
Official Minecraft Dungeons II PC requirements
The Minecraft Store lists two hardware tiers for the Standard Edition: minimum and recommended. Meeting the minimum tier is not the same as meeting the recommended tier, and the listing does not promise a particular frame rate or resolution for either one.
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 10 64-bit, version 1703 or newer | Windows 10 64-bit, version 1703 or newer |
| Architecture | x64 | x64 |
| Processor | Intel Core i3-8100, AMD Ryzen 3 2200G, or equivalent | Intel Core i5-8400, AMD Ryzen 5 2600, or equivalent |
| Graphics card | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, AMD Radeon RX 560, or equivalent dedicated graphics card with at least 2 GB VRAM | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, AMD Radeon RX 580, or equivalent with at least 6 GB VRAM |
| DirectX | Version 11 | Version 11 |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| Video memory | 2 GB | 6 GB |
These component values and example models come from the Minecraft Store listing. “Or equivalent” means a different model needs to be compared by its specific performance; sharing a brand name or a “gaming” label is not enough to establish equivalence.
Check your Windows version, architecture, processor, and RAM
- Right-click Start and select Settings > System > About.
- Under Windows specifications, note the Windows edition and version. Under Device specifications, note the processor, installed RAM, and whether the system is 32-bit or 64-bit.
- Compare those details with the table. The listing calls for Windows 10 64-bit, version 1703 or newer, and x64 architecture; a 32-bit system does not match that requirement.
Microsoft describes the information available on the About page in its Windows device information guide. If your processor model differs from the listed examples, compare the exact model rather than assuming equivalence from Intel or AMD branding alone.

Check available storage
Open Settings > System > Storage and check how much free space is available. The reviewed Minecraft Store requirements table does not state a required disk-space figure, so there is no supported number to compare against here. Check the current store listing for storage information before downloading or installing.
Check your DirectX version with DxDiag
- Search Windows for
dxdiagand open DirectX Diagnostic Tool. - On the System tab, find DirectX Version under System Information.
- Compare the result with the listing’s DirectX 11 requirement.
Microsoft explains how to open DxDiag and find the installed version in its DirectX support guide.

Identify the graphics card and dedicated VRAM
The About page is useful for the processor, memory, Windows version, and architecture, but it does not establish whether your graphics hardware meets the game’s GPU and VRAM requirements. Find the exact graphics card model and its dedicated video memory in a graphics-specific system information view or in the PC or GPU maker’s specifications.
- For the minimum tier, compare the model with a GTX 1050, RX 560, or equivalent dedicated card, and confirm at least 2 GB VRAM.
- For the recommended tier, compare with a GTX 1060, RX 580, or equivalent, and confirm at least 6 GB VRAM.
- Do not treat a laptop’s “gaming” branding or a shared-memory figure as proof that its GPU meets either tier.
The model examples and memory thresholds are from the official listing. If you cannot confirm the exact GPU or dedicated VRAM, mark that part of the check as uncertain rather than calling it a pass.
