[Bf-webcontent] Add more info about blender versions that (recently) dropped old systems

[Francesco Siddi]

Hi,

I think making a dedicated page (if it does not already exist) is a good idea. If you have time to make one, please share a link here and we can add a link to that in the page. The page could be called: Install Blender on legacy systems, or something similar.

Regards,
Francesco

Good, thanks.  
Maybe adding a note about "If Blender reports an error on startup,  
please install the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package. Click here  
<https://web.archive.org/web/20151015182152/http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784>.  
" could help too... ?  

Perhaps we could instead create a wiki page helping those that need to  
use that older (or even older) versions: eg, those listed here  
https://www.blender.org/download/previous-versions/, and add on the  
requirements page a link like: "older OS version or graphics card?" look  
here... =>  

That info page could also help people to find in which (and get that)  
version Cycles supports their old nvidia card, eg, or else...  

just my 2c...
