1Frankly, I would not do this...it's pretty rude. Perhaps the user CAN'T update or change browsers...some can't you know. – Paulie_D Feb 06 '14 at 13:19

You can use this code as it is. Replace x by IE version you want to "outdate".

Here I found very sophisticated way to tell user about outdated-browsers:

If you want to detect if a browser support X or Y feature of HTML5 or CSS3, you have modernizr
you can generate a script HERE for detect just old browser and propose an upgrade
