Can I programming OpenGL4+ in a card that support 2.1 only?
This is the OpenGL version I have:
Code :Video Card Vendor: Intel Renderer: Intel(R) HD Graphics OpenGL Version: 2.1.0 - Build 8.15.10.2622 GLU Version: 1.2.2.0 Microsoft Corporation
I'd like to know if I can programing in OpenGL 4+. Because I cannot update my card.
Unless your card and driver supports OpenGL 4+ you cannot use it. Most likely in your case you are stuck with GL 2.1. You need to get a more recent AMD or NVIDIA GPU (I don't think Intel has any card/driver that supports GL 4.x yet) and get the latest drivers. Radeon HD5000+ and GeForce 400+ have GL 4.x support.

Can you tell us the exact model of your CPU?
If it is a third generation Intel Core i-processor (with HD2500/HD4000 graphics card), then yes.
Otherwise - NO!
