I'm trying to play Star Stable Online and it says: "Star Stable Online requires a graphics card with support for OpenGL 3.0 or Higher....." Does this mean I need to buy a new Graphics card or is there and update on the computer that I need to do? I have a Windows 7 laptop Please help me out thanks!!

That laptop uses a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD video adapter. It is integrated as part of the CPU and can't be upgraded.

All you can really do is updated the video drivers. Get the 32-bit or 64-bit version and install them, depending on the version of Win 7 you are running.

Best thing to do here is to just get a new system all in all. This laptop is too old, and replacing a GPU in a laptop is not worth the cost, and with you, you probably have iGPU, which means you can't replace it, unless you replace the CPU and replacing a CPU in a laptop is hard and especially if the CPU is soldered on. It is possible to replace it but it is hard and not worth it.

In my opinion, I'd say go with an upgrade.

EDIT: PC UPGRADE, CHANGE THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
