I just bought Minecraft for my PC and every time I try to play it it crashes and says my driver doesn't appear to support OpenGL :c

I don't even know what that means. like. why

Hi! ^^ Sorry to jump in randomly, but I like messing with graphic settings lol
May I ask if you use Windows 10? I think OpenGL graphic support is only needed for the Java version which is purchased on their website--I believe it should work with Win 8.1 and below + Mac. There's a Windows 10 version on the Microsoft store alternatively if that's what you use.

I don't actually have Minecraft, so I can't check where it launches settings, but can you access graphic settings before it crashes? If you can, you may be able to change OpenGL to an alternative in the settings somewhere... I don't remember the name, but I think the alt is probably DirectX? Could be something else though. ^^'
Another thing you could try is to update your graphics drivers.

I do! I use windows 10 and bought the one on their website which is the java one. Does the java version not work with windows 10? I assume it would, but I could be wrong.

I'm not able to view the graphic settings as it crashes pretty much immediately, which sucks.

I actually have no idea what my graphic driver is or how to update it lmao,,, I'm not well versed in the inner workings of a computer aha.

It's probably possible to use the Java version on Win 10, but I only know that some users have difficulty with getting it to work. I assume that's probably why they made another version for Win 10, but I'm not sure.

Since you can't open the settings, here's somethings to try:

- Look around the website or your e-mails and see if they gave you another download link to the Win 10 version. I heard they give you both if you bought the Java version, but I can't be sure.

- To update the graphics drivers, search in the taskbar "Device manager," open that and look for "Display adapters" on the list, then open that and right click on any/all of the devices it shows and click "update driver". Lastly, click "Search automatically for updated driver software." If they're not already up-to-date, they should be updating. Afterwards restart the pc.

- You can try to update Java to 64-bit if you don't have that one. But, oh boy, I hate installing Java. Something almost always goes wrong afterwards. I would do this as a last resort honestly. I haven't needed to reinstall Java in years, so if you have to do this, hopefully it is easier by now lol. I recommend fully removing your old Java first.

They only gave the Win 10 version if you bought the java one before feb 2018, I think? Sometime in 2018 lmao.

It says I already have the best driver for my device, which sucks. So I'll probably have to get my stepdad to call his computer friend to see if he can upgrade my computer, if that's what's needed.

Also I remember when I had to update java a few times last year,,, to say it was absolute agony is an understatement lmao. But I did some research and when you buy minecraft automatically updates to the needed java, which is such a relief honestly
