Computer: HP Pavilion P6000 (Model Number: p6510f)
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 4200
Operating System: Windows 10 Technical Preview (Build 9860) ... basically windows 8.1

I have tried the AMD Driver Autodetect, AMD Catalyst Package, and AMD Catalyst Package Beta; to which all failed.

Based on AMD's Website my ATI Radeon HD 4200 is supported in windows 8.1+ meaning I should not need the driver, however Minecraft disagrees with a "org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated" error every time I press launch.

Any help would be much appreciated.

your reading the information for windows 8, not windows 8.1, you need to manually update the drivers for them to work with 8.1

this http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/support/unmodified-minecraft-client/1868881-windows-8-lack-of-updated-graphics-drivers-solved#c8 gives a guide on how to do that
