Which is why I mention opengl. I would have mention vulken but I knew your intel hd 4000 didn't support that. If this was a desktop that had room adding a modern graphic card would allow vulken or maybe opengl and that could have be a solution. To be fair windows 7 is out of support and you would be better off with windows 10 out of security anyways. If 4.0 work for you it fine but any issues you have wouldn't have support on the board though since it is so outdated in software.
well, it is what it is, I don't really want to spend more money on a new video card and honestly Windows 10 makes me paranoid.
