hello guys I have an old gpu the HD 6770 1 gb gddr5 and it doesn't support directx12 I think so if directx 12 games are released will I be able to play them? even if I have windows 10?

in DX12 mode then no. windows 10 will give you access to DX12 but you still need the hardware as well. but we probably won't be seeing DX12 exclusive any time games soon.

It only to be a few years before games support DirectX 12 only.

Technically yes because each version of Directx is backwards compatible with the previous versions. The only difference is that you will not be able to utilize any of the additional features provided by the newer version.
Nope. DirectX 11 only games will not work with GPU that only support DirectX9
