Try updating your graphics driver.

Graphics driver update might fix the OpenGL issue, but Intel doesn't support your iGPU since 2015, so its possible you already have the latest drivers.

I don't know why, but your Windows 8.1 installation is missing d3dcompiler_47.dll (it should be part of Windows since Windows 8), so to fix the "DirectX not supported" error you can unzip d3dcompiler_47.dll into the same folder Factorio.exe is in.
