So ive been trying to install a later version of Blender on my laptop. Currently running 3.4.1. Ive done work on my desktop in 4.1 and obviously cant open files in 3.4. but i believe 3.6 can open 4.1 files. My laptop is a Sony Vaio Intel Corei5, 12gb ram intel HD 4000 (2GB) which so Intel says, should support OpenGL 4. I cant find any drivers at all... Any help or info is appreciated.

$\begingroup$ I'd try opening your work in Blender 4.0, and then saving it, and then opening again in latest 3.6. $\endgroup$– Markus von BroadyCommented Jul 1 at 15:20

Starting from Blender 4.0 you need GPU that supports OpenGL 4.3, however the maximum version supported by Intel HD 4000 is 4.0.
If the scene saved in Blender 4.0-4.1 does not work, you might try the following options:
Launch Blender using software OpenGL by downloading DLL from here and copying it into the Blender's installation folder.
Export your scene using some intermediate format, such as FBX/USD/Alembic and import it in the older version of Blender.
