What version of OpenGL is installed by default with MinGW?

Question

I recently tried to rely on OpenGL. Trying to understand the API, I use MinGW with OpenGW. Now I have learned (or received a recommendation) that I will no longer use glBeginit glEnd, and since they are outdated, they should start with OpenGL 3.1. Since I did not know that the version used makes such a difference, I did not pay much attention to which version I actually installed on my computer. And, as far as I can see, there is no glVersionsimilar call that I could use to determine this version.

Since I use MinGW, I went to my corresponding include folder and found in c:\MinGW\include\GL\gl.h:

/*
 * Mesa 3-D graphics library
 * Version:  4.0
