NVM i Fixed it

How did you get it too work I'm getting the same problem

I did a fresh install of Windows 10, reinstalled minecraft and it crashes. this is the crash report. I'm no expert but everything looks fine until it tries to fool around with openGL. If you fixed it BreadBit, what did you do? I also noticed that the crash report states my machine is running Windows 8.1 (x86) however, I am running Windows 10 (x64)
