• LearnOpenGL

  Code repository of all OpenGL chapters from the book and its accompanying website https://learnopengl.com

If you want to do it that from scratch you're probably going to want to go with https://learnopengl.com. This series of tutorials doesn't cover drawing directly to a Win32 window (it uses GLFW), so you'll have to look up a different guide on that. Luckily GLFW's source is quite is to follow, so if you need to find out how they're doing something it'll be pretty easy.
