for some reason it doesn't recognize my CPU, which is an Intel Celeron @2.20 GHz

Lack of updated graphics drivers, post a dxdiag log http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/pixel-format-not-accelerated/support/

Your computer does not meet Minecraft's system requirements https://help.mojang.com/customer/en/portal/articles/325948-minecraft-system-requirements

if its a new laptop you should be fine. but id make sure you update the drivers. that 1 core CPU is a bit of a worry but minecraft is screaming about graphics and ive ran it on much worse systems than what you have. try windows XP 2gb or ram and those weird pentium 3 cpus lol.

youve got a brand new minecraft. its not minecraft that broken. its your drivers. its essentially just saying that well it tried. BUT it cant open the window because your graphics wont let it and openGL doesnt exist you need opengl
although running windows 10!!

one thing is windows 10 doesnt allow openGL because they dont have any drivers. so youre going to have to get that on your own.

also hers a thing for openGL since windows 10 hates it and doesnt use it

His toaster is 8 years old. Too old for Windows 10 and for MC.
