You've installed Windows 8 on a machine whose hardware is obsolete and not fully supported anymore.

The most recent video driver that will work with Minecraft is this one: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/18228/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-Driver-for-Windows-7-64-exe-

It's for WIndows 7. You might be able to install it via the "have disk" method:
