title: Is there a way to use DirectX 11 in Windows 7?
body: <p>I was trying to start to learn programming in DirectX 11, but I'm still using Windows 7 OS. My IDE is Visual Studio Community 2019 and I've tried to create a DirectX 11 project, but I got the error message saying that I need to upgrade my system to Windows 10 to be able to use this feature. I've downloaded Microsoft Development Kit, SDK and another extensions VS offered to me thinking it would actually work, but it didnt. I'm sorry if this seems a silly question, but I'm new on this and I would find it a great help if someone is able to tell me what I'm doing wrong or if there is really not other way to program in DirectX 11 on windows 7.</p>
