I have edited the message, I meant ATI videocard. The most modern OS which supports this videocard is 7.

How old are you? In 2009 it was not just common, backward compability was Windoze's killer feature at that time.

Adding one text line in System Requirements page, no any coding, is telling devs what to do? There is a reason why the System Requirement pages exist.

You're massively confused and mistaken on what backwards compatibility actually is. Backwards compatibility means that a platform/OS from the present day can run software from the past, not that an OS from the distant past(2009) can somehow magically run software from 15 years in the future, which is what you're trying to do and is not a use case any mainstream OS has ever been designed for since nobody ahs a crystal ball to know how SW will be written in the future.
