It indicates that your graphics hardware and software must support Direct3D 11 with specific hardware capabilities (Feature Level 11.0) and advanced rendering instructions (Shader Model 5.0). What These Specs Mean

: Your graphics card must be able to use the Direct3D 11 API , which is the "translator" between the game and your hardware.

This specific error message— "A D3D11-compatible GPU (Feature Level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is required to run the engine"

This indicates the specific hardware capabilities required. Even if you have "DirectX 12" installed on your Windows, your physical graphics card must still support the specific features of level 11.0.
