I do gaming, and for a game I play regularly, I need OpenGL version 2.1 or higher. After I updated to Windows 10 yesterday, I could not do my gaming, since the graphics driver changed because the driver I had with Windows 7 isn't compatible with Windows 10, apparently. Furthermore, the new graphics driver ( Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family) does not contain OpenGL (any version at all). I have tried to update to Intel HD Graphics 4000, which on the website, it says it is compatible with Windows 10, yet when I try to update to it, it says, ' The driver selected for this device does not support this version of Windows.' This I do not understand, since on the website it says that it is compatible with Windows 10.
Please, kindly provide me with any help, whether it be a fix to the Intel HD Graphics 4000 update, or any driver which contains OpenGL version 2.1 or higher and is compatible with Windows 10. Hi Cyan, Thank you for being part of the Windows 10 family.

Thanks for replying, I really appreciate it, but I'm afraid the advice you have provided me with won't work. I think I know what my problem is. The processor I have is an Intel Pentium E2220, which is a really old and out-dated 2nd generation Intel processor. I also recently updated to Windows 10, which is the newest version of Windows there is.
Although there are many graphics drivers that are compatible with Windows 10, there aren't many that are compatible with a 2nd generation processor, and there are absolutely NO graphics drivers (with OpenGL 2.1 or higher) that are compatible with both Windows 10 and a 2nd generation Intel processor. The problem here is basically that I'm using a new kind of operating system with a really old processor, which seems logical that they wouldn't go well together. Also, since I reset my PC after upgrading to Windows 10, I don't have the option to go back to Windows 7, so I'm pretty much stuck. I have to wait till Intel releases a graphics driver which contains OpenGL and is compatible with both Windows 10 and the processor I have. Not knowing when that'll happen, or if it will, the fastest way for me to start gaming again would be to buy a new computer, a new processor, or a product key for an earlier version of Windows. The issue is that the Microsoft-supplied WHQL driver for Intel HD Graphics 4000 lacks OpenGL support. The native Intel drivers for Windows 8 and previous included OpenGL support, but Intel no longer directly supplies these drivers for Windows 10 per Microsoft's directive.
This seems to be a common theme where Microsoft favors their Direct3D over OpenGL, but effectively renders Windows 10 unusable for many popular graphics apps/games. I wound up backing out several Windows 10 upgrades and will stick with Windows 7 for the long haul.
