To check whether your Windows PC meets the listed requirements for Minecraft Dungeons II, note its Windows version and architecture, processor, installed RAM, free storage, DirectX version, graphics card and dedicated video memory. Then compare each item with the game’s official minimum or recommended tier. Meeting a tier matches its listed hardware baseline; it does not promise a particular frame rate or level of smoothness.
Official Minecraft Dungeons II PC requirements
The Minecraft Store lists separate minimum and recommended specifications for the Standard Edition. Recommended is the higher hardware tier, not a requirement for launching the game. The store uses “or equivalent” for processor and graphics examples; another model should not be treated as equivalent based on its brand name alone.

Check your PC’s specifications
1. Find your Windows version, architecture, processor and RAM
- Right-click Start, then choose Settings > System > About.
- Under Windows specifications, note the edition and version. The listed requirement is Windows 10 64-bit, version 1703 or newer.
- Under Device specifications, note the processor, installed RAM and whether the system type is 64-bit. Compare those details with the table above. Microsoft explains these About-page fields in its Windows device information guide.
If your processor is not one of the named examples, look up the exact model and compare its performance with the listed chip before deciding whether it is equivalent. The requirement page does not define an equivalency rule.
2. Check available storage
Open Settings > System > Storage and check how much space is free. The system-requirements information cited above does not state a required storage amount, so there is no supported number to compare against here. Check the current store listing for updated installation details before downloading if space is tight.

3. Find the installed DirectX version
- Search Windows for
dxdiagand open DirectX Diagnostic Tool. - On the System tab, find DirectX Version in System Information.
- Compare it with the game’s DirectX 11 requirement. Microsoft documents this check in its DirectX and DxDiag guide.
4. Identify your graphics card and VRAM
The About page is useful for the processor, RAM and Windows details, but it is not a definitive graphics-card or VRAM check. Find the exact GPU model and its dedicated video memory in a graphics-specific system information view, or verify them using the PC or GPU manufacturer’s specifications. Compare the model with the GTX 1050 or RX 560 examples and 2 GB VRAM minimum, or the GTX 1060 or RX 580 examples and 6 GB VRAM recommended level.
Do not infer that a GPU qualifies from a laptop’s “gaming” label, the graphics brand alone, or a shared-memory figure. If your PC has a different card, compare that exact model’s capability with the listed examples; the store does not name every equivalent card.

Decide what your comparison means
- Meets the listed minimum: Every component you checked reaches the minimum tier. This means the PC matches the publisher’s stated minimum specification, not that a particular resolution or frame rate is assured.
- Meets the recommended specification: The checked components reach the recommended tier. This is a higher hardware profile, not a separate launch requirement or a performance guarantee.
- Below minimum or uncertain: Name the specific component that is below the listed minimum or that you could not verify. For a different CPU or GPU model, avoid calling it equivalent without a model-specific comparison.
The cited requirements do not provide a benchmark or promise a frame rate, resolution or smoothness based solely on passing the checklist.
