How do I find and update to OpenGL 3.0 or higher. My laptop has 2.1 Mesa 10.3.2

Asked by Charles E. Todd II on 2015-12-24

My laptop is a "Thinkpad" L512 with intel core I-5 processor. I am trying to run a game from Steam, called "Forever Sky". Steam downloaded fine and the game did also. When I try to run it i get an error msg. ======= "requires OpenGL 3.0 or higher. Your OpenGL version is 2.1 Mesa 10.3.2 GLSL version 1.20"

How do I update to the required version?

Simple instructions with pictures would be great.

Thanks.
