OpenGL 4.3 on Hyper-V VM

Question

Hi,
For a customer we set up a simple RDSH environment (session based). It is a Hyper-V host (Server 2019) with some other VM's and the RDSH is a Server 2019 VM. All running on a HP Proliant Gen10 server. The RDSH is for running a ERP client and Office applications, but now they also want to use a viewer of a CAD Software (HiCAD).
I tried installing the viewer, what was succesfully but we can't open it. I contacted the HiCAD support and they say it is because of the lack of OpenGL4.3.
They ran a OpenGL tester and my VM says running version 1.1 Vendor Microsoft. I also ran the tester on the Hyper-V host machine with the same result.
The Hyper-V host device manager says it has a Maxtrox G200eh3 video card, that's a legacy card as far as i can find.
I contacted HPe support, they say the Server model does not support OpenGL and installing a good GPU won't fix the issue. But what will fix the issue?
Does anyone know of this who can help me with this?

Best regards,
Thomas

Hello ThomasKorenromp

It may be due to BIOS/Chipset hardware limitations indeed. From Microsoft perspective, OpenGL is supported up to 4.4 version after 2016 version.
