"You can run City and Origins in DirectX 9 mode should you wish, PC versions of course. This is because huge amounts of PCs still run Windows XP, which of course only supports up to DirectX 9."

Maybe the cutting off of support for XP in April is for more than just ageing reasons?

This is not correct. The game is not out for game preview right now. There is no EAT for when it will come to Game preview either.

They are playing it on their PC with the Xbox app installed. It will show you what games your friend is playing if they have the app. It WONT state what system they are playing however.

There is even a option to STOP Showing your friends what PC games you are playing

That's a preview and it's available for insiders, there's a process to register as insider to get access to it
