Can a game made for DX10 work on a PC loaded with DX11?

"Can a game made for DX10 work on a PC loaded with DX11?"
Yes

"Same for hardware? Can a DX9 video card use DX11?"
No
 
Thanks... Got a GT240M (laptop) with DX 11 installed... I guess I need to revert to DX10 install... DO I have to do any "cleanup" before installing a lower version?
 
Oops... I've got a GT240m card in a laptop... And I installed DX11... Can I just overwrite it with 10 to go back or do I need to uninstall it somehow and do a V10 fresh install?

I'm not sure how DX11 was installed on here... But, I do know the GT240M is designed for DX10. And... Based on the send response above, it seems i need to get back to V10 somehow... By overwriting or doing an uninstall DX11 / install DX10...

Sorry for the noobness... Check the rig sig.... I've been out of the hobby for about 5 years...
 
Your video card will run with with DX11 installed even though it is a DX10 card. Don't sweat it. It will just wont use any DX11 features basically.

Windows 7 is automatically preinstalled with DX11.

As many have already said, don't worry about it and just play away.

You can have DX11 installed in a system with a non-DX11 GPU. Most, if not all, DX11 games have older DX compatibility mode that allow them to run on older GPUs (minus the DX11 in-game features obviously).

For the life of me I could NOT get Batman Arkham Asylum to run on my Win7 x64 rig. I tried everything I know, it either crashed or couldn't find files. Not sure if it was a DX9 issue or a x64 issue - but I ended up rebuilding my rig and flinging the disc across the room.

Of course this whole event reminded me why most of my house has Apple products, but Windows just games better. SC2, to me, is just a marvelous game and epic time sink for me.
 
I downloaded the game GunCraft, installed it properly, and ran it. Then all of a sudden it says that it runs on DX10 so I guess that's what I need. I checked out what DirectX version I have and it says I'm running DX11. But everytime time I run the game the notification keeps showing up... plzz help :'(

Crysis 3 is locked to DX 11 cards AFAIK

If you mean video card, it's Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family

If you didn't mean what I answered then what do you mean?

And can you suggest a decent graphics card that can handle new games? :\
