However, due to the age of that hardware and an issue in the current driver (and due to its age, the 'current' is the last and only available driver for it) you will only be able to play up to version 1.7.2 of minecraft.

First you will need to download and install the file found on this page https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/18228/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-Driver-for-Windows-7-64-exe-?product=81508

Auto detectors are not always reliable.
Your current driver version is 8.15.10.1749
The latest version is 15.12.75.4.64.1930 (8.15.10.1930)
You can download it here:

I always recommend manual downloads of drivers.
