Hi, I just recently purchased an older oculus development kit (dk1) from a pawn store hoping it would work on my computer. I have a brand new MSi GE62 2QD Apache Pro gaming laptop and im having issue...

The answer is you either need to do the following:
1) Laptops are not supported (doesn't mean they wont work), but as far as the newest SDK goes, laptops are just not supported. There are MANY threads, sticky thread at the top of this forum, and even on their own site. It is posted everywhere! I would just get my money back, but use that money into either buying a supported laptop (make sure the GPU doesn't end in a M) or getting a desktop computer instead.
2) Get the old SDK, but games must be built around the old SDK and that means you will have limited "support" going forward here. With the older SDK, you can at least extend the desktop to that monitor and then trick the system to act like is just another monitor for a few games. Really, there isnt much going to be supported at this point and development will be SUPER slow as everyone will be moving onto CV1 or SDK 1.0 at this point. It's to the point I would just get my money back.
3) DK1 is really old now. Support will be limited. I would see about getting my money back.
