Softwares are products which are designed and developed to work on the operating systems. But nowadays, some softwares are compatible only with the latest version of the Os and it fails to run in the older ones. This is because the older versions of the operating system are not able to understand the architecture of the software. So we conducted a survey on this problem. Nearly 300 IT professionals attended the questionnaires and the factors were identified. So from the Matrix model of calculating the software usability, the factors mentioned by the IT professionals are included and then calculated. As a result of these calculations, new factors are included in the existing matrix model and the resulting matrix is our proposed model. In this paper we discuss about the formation of the model, result of the model and how this architectural model is advantageous over the existing model.
