I want to know about the OpenGL version of the Windows 8.
I've checked that the OpenGL version of the Windows 7 is 3.1.

Any way to check the OpenGL version of the Windows 8? or
Any information about the version number?

Please call glGetString( GL_VERSION ) to get the version of OpenGL.

The GL_VERSION strings begin with a version number. The version number uses one of these forms:

major_number.minor_number major_number.minor_number.release_number

Vendor-specific information may follow the version number. Its format depends on the implementation, but a space always separates the version number and the vendor-specific information.

Other Softwares to get the detailed information of opengl features like OpenGL Extension viewer is also available.

OpenGL version may change in an Operating system based on the graphics card and driver available.
Its better to call glGetString() in your application, or use other software to get the opengl version.
