Yes i have the pixel format not accelerated problem. No don't bother linking me to that reddit thread I've already seen it.
I have tried installing and reinstalling the drivers from Microsoft, Intel, where ever else i could find them. I've tried disabling the driver through windows update so it won't get replaced (this worked on my laptop but not hers.)
Ok so we have two laptops here, mine a gateway with a Core i3 3110m cpu and Intel HD 4000 graphics, minecraft runs fine on this after i disabled the windows update driver and installed the Intel one. And then we have her laptop, which has a Core i5 2430m cpu with Intel HD 3000 graphics. Minecraft will technically run on here but only the vanilla version, with just a single mod installed it chokes and throws a pixel format not accelerated error at me.
But here's the thing that's really getting at me. Everything else runs fine, she plays world of warcraft on there. She played Star was knights of the old republic 2 on there. And it had this same problem with the Intel Celeron b815 cpu I pulled out to replace with the i5 2430m. Vanilla minecraft with 100% no mods will run 1.7.10 or 1.8.8 just fine but as soon as i install one mod like optifine it chokes.
This is my last ditch effort to try and get this working, i'm preparing to kick it back from Windows 10 to Windows 7 if we can't figure anything out.
Also i figured i would share what resources i have found for solving Windows 10 Intel HD Graphics issues so far.

That Reddit thread with a possibly related, maybe similar but not quite the same issue i seem to be having here: https://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/3fxgbj/issues_with_modded_minecraft_and_windows_10/
