Hello, I went to update my drivers after receiving this error message "Pixel Format Not Accelerated...Update Driver". I followed the instructions and scanned for my drivers on the Intel website, only for it to say I have none installed. Then I went to the manufacturer's website which is Dell, only to find that the drivers for this model computer are not supported for Windows 10 but only Windows 7 and Vista. I do not see how to update drivers that are not even installed on the PC. What should I do at this point? I have my system info in this link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13384333/
Unfortunately your graphics hardware is not supported on Windows 10, you will need to downgrade to Windows 7, upgrade your graphics hardware (Not possible on a laptop), or use another computer to play Minecraft.

Who did upgrade you PC to Windows 10? if it's you then the only way is to downgrade (or if you just update it to Windows 10 then there is an option to downgrade easily via the settings) if it's isn't you then tell him to downgrade your PC to Windows 10.
The reason why you should downgrade to 8.1 or 7 or whatever is because if the specs. Windows 10 requires 3rd gen Core CPU , while you have one older than the first gen
