Windows 10: Valorant / DirectX

I downloaded Valorant on my 2nd PC. It said "DX11 feature level 10.0 is required to run the engine." I used dxcpl as I knew the issue from my last PC[Windows 7], but it didn't work in this PC. I tried changing compatibility, didn't work. I have updated all the drivers and installed redistributables. The diagnostic tool showed I have DirectX 12.

DirectX Instalation Issue

Well I reinstalled Valorant and it worked fine, I still have no clue whether my issue is with DirectX or CSGO, so I guess I should try steam forums. I'll leave the thread for any useful tips.

Additional steps I took:

1. Reinstalling Steam, CS:GO

2. Creating Guest User

None of which helped.
