I have been trying to fix my girlfriend's computer for the past hour. A window pops up shortly after the crash saying it's a graphics driver problem, but there were no updates available. I also tried installing Java Update 8, Version 51 since another recommendation from the "Fix This Problem" button said a version lower than 60 needs to be installed for Windows 10. I don't know what else to do at this point so here's the latest crash report:

I would like to point out that the message you received, 'Pixel format not accelerated', always refers to the Graphics Driver. As stated on the above page, it is either due to incorrect/outdated Drivers, or due to obsolete hardware; such as Intel HD Graphics, GeForce 9600 GT, or an ATI Radeon HD 4400. All three of those are generally classified as hardware that is not powerful enough to play MineCraft with.
With that said, Intel HD Graphics can run MineCraft, but you will not have optimal performance. It is because they share a portion of the CPU's power, to process graphical information. A dedicated GPU is preferred for running MineCraft, as it processes the graphical information on its own. I will cease my rambling, sorry.
