Bug Description
Attempting to enable GAL on a Surface Book results in the error "Could not create OpenGL canvas"
The book DOES support OpenGL. In fact it runs an OpenGL 4.5 benchmark beautifully (GpuTest 0.7.0)
The laptop contains a Intel HD Graphics 520 and a Nvidia GeForce GPU (custom model). It is brand new and in its default configuration and latest drivers (forced by microsoft ;) )
Can't find any assert or log output otherwise on the Windows install so trying to figure out how to debug.

Using "glview" a nice tool that dumps all the gl driver info on Windows.
I attached a report of the Intel HD 520 reported capabilities.
Getting a report of the Nvidia chip will be difficult
