Where did you install steam from? I use the version from rpmfusion. Games usually need powerful AMD or nvidia graphics cards. Integrated graphics may not get you very far. I suspect it is the integrated graphics that lacks the support for DX10. I think all the DX 10 code is in the Windows emulator that steam installs. It is called Proton and based on Wine. What graphics card does your brother have? Check that it has supported drivers. if nvidia the check the rpmfusion nvidia docs.
