It's strange. It said something about only supporting x64 bits operating system, that mine was x86??? and then the warning disappeared to reveal the NiceHash Miner...but froze. So I had to reboot to close it and didn't revisit again.

Which version of windows do you have?
replying here because max thread:
I'm going to try and load it on the older laptop and see if I have better results. For now...sleep. Sleep is good. :) If it doesn't work, I'll ask @cryptos for help. Thanks!
Welcome. Hope you get it working! :)
Old laptop has Windows 7
Mine is Windows 10. BTW, I hate Windows 10.
Hehe. IDK what it could be though. Windows 7 seems like it should work. You might want to try replying to @cryptos thread and see if he knows what it is.
Requirements to run it are listed here - https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner#requirements
Windows 7 or later is supported, but the two things I see that might be tripping you up are that a 64 bit OS is required and it needs ".NET Framework 4.5 or higher and Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2013". Based on the error message, I'm guessing you probably have 32 bit?
Here's how to check:
Also, just FYI, you're going to see much slower results on a laptop. Mine is a couple years old,and it normally gets about $0.03 to $0.05 per day. With the zcash launch, it was up to $0.70, but it's now back down to about a dime.
