[Troubleshooting] OpenGL 3.1 on Intel HD Graphics 3000 but only 1.1 reported

Was testing Expresii on some older PC and realized that Expresii now (after version 2018-06-29) doesn't run on HD 3000 GPU on Win10. Found from https://community.khronos.org/t/i-have-opengl-3-1-but-kivy-says-that-i-have-only-1-1/103980/6 the reason being:

Intel OpenGL drivers for legacy systems (everything before Ivy Bridge and Bay Trail) refuse to load under Windows 10 if loading program declares Windows 10 compatibility essentially getting a windows version that begins with 10 when calling appropriate Windows APIs. This happens because the OpenGL driver has hardcoded OS version string checks that don’t recognize Windows 10 and Intel refuses to fix this despite being a very easy fix instead opted to end graphics driver development for these old systems.

Will try to see if I can get a fix.
