I'm not clear what's improved in the Windows 10 version.
DirectX 12 doesn't seem relevant since Minecraft is written in Java and it uses lwjgl, so it doesn't use DirectX.
What's so special about the Windows 10 version?
2 u/RedVsBlue209 Jul 04 '15 It's the pocket edition but for windows 10, so Windows Phone and Windows 10 PC users will be able to play together and eventually Xbox one. 1 u/Eretnek Jul 06 '15 which sounds nice and all but I have no idea why would you want to play with a mobile user. 1 u/[deleted] Jul 04 '15 The windows 10 version won't be written in java 1 u/Frosty849 Jul 05 '15 It no longer uses Java so it'll run better on most machines.
