DirectX device creation error Failed creating D3D device of at least version 10.0 on adapter “Intel (R) HD graphics family” with driver (“ Unsupported.”). This is typically caused by not having the minimum required DirectX support in the GPU. For NVIDIA GPUs, DirectX 10.0 support is required. For AMD and GPUs from other vendors, DirectX 10.1 support is required.
