Are you using a modded version of the game? Did you try to play a 1.12 world on 1.7.10? Did you make a superflat world made of TNT and light it? Any of these could cause crashes, but mods are the usual cause of continuous crashes. PLEASE TELL US WHAT YOU WERE DOING BEFORE THESE CRASHES OCCURED!

(Sorry if I sounded harsh, got carried away there.)

I just got back from getting an amazing haircut, and from a doctors appointment. This is my first time trying Minecraft on this computer, as my stronger one broke a while back ;( and it's okay. I get annoyed when someones doesn't elaborate too.

A simple glance at the crash report tells everything we need to know about what caused the crash - there is no graphics driver installed.

It looks like you do not have the latest version of java i just recently updated mine and google chrome blocks the download so i used internet explorer aka microsoft edge watch a tutorial if you have any difficulty because Java is needed to run minecraft.

What model computer are you using? If it's a custom build, what graphics hardware are you using?

Dell Inspiron 560

Not sure where to find the name of the graphics hardware, mind telling me? I'm a noob

Try installing this graphics driver: downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22167/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-Driver-Windows-7-64-Windows-Vista-64-exe-?product=81516
