That is the advice I followed last month when I had to move DS (with LoA) across to a new system I'd suddenly had to buy; except that, so far as I remember I did not select the option for installing DirectX.
My new system is an OEM build with DirectX 11 already on when I got it (whether it came with Windows 7 or was added after), so I trusted DS would work with that. Is it advisable, or even possible, to have multiple versions of DirectX on the same system? I wouldn't want that unless I were very sure about what I was doing.
I may still have had the bull about compatibility, if so I selected the option to run the program anyway.
One quirk - before saved games from my old system would load, I had to delete my new prefs.gas file and restore my old one.
