Dx11 is backwards compatible. This mean that no matter how 'new' the DirectX is, older games that need an earlier DirectX, will still be able to run with Dx11.
Also, 7 is installed with Dx11 standard.
Are you saying that games aren't running? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer 5735z

Thanks, I kind of figured that but needed reassurance. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HomieJunker

The problem is with FSX Dx10 Preview not having any AA. But I assume it's the video card driver now. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HomieJunker

Start a new thread in the 'Gaming' section, and we will try to fix the problem.
There is a huge difference between the FSX demo and the full blown FSX product.
Note that I have the Deluxe version and am using patches SP1 and SP2, which are not in the Demo.
I don't remember the demo having the Dx 10 Preview option. Does it? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HomieJunker

Game play is ok. It's the antialiasing that does not work. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HomieJunker

Hmm i'm stumped there.
If its not really bothering you, I wouldn't worry about it.
Are you sure this is a DirectX issue? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer 5735z
