Thanks for your help, I believe that the laptop is capable of directx10, even though it is extremely old. I hope you have a great time creating your game, cause its awesome :D
I've had an idea, if this is made with a custom game engine or unity, wouldn't there be a way to make a seperate version for a different graphics API, I do not mean to be forcing this idea on you as I think it may be that I am missing the Directx update on win7
it turns out that in dxdiag my gpu was reported to support directx 11 but according to 3d mark vantage it has no support for directx 10 and in 3d mark for directx 9 it ran at about 1 fps. So please could there be any way for your game to support this API, thank you if you do find a way
wait, found a option to change the graphics API, aviable for windows are: auto/Direct3D11/Direct3D12/Vulkan/OpenGLCore/OpenGlSE2/OpenGlSE3. Which do you want? also come on discord server for pm.
directX 10/11 is a system requirement for the game engine(unity), can't do anything about it. from unity site: "Graphics card with DX10" minimum requirement. I went through all the settings and I didn't find any way to change the DirectX .
