Peter,
A couple of things -
1/ Your using windows 10 so check that your mini notebook has the operating system is 64bit and your downloading the 64bit version of Stellarium
2/ As its a dedicated pc that doesn’t require the internet, uninstall any antivirus software, this can cause all sorts of issues with 3rd party software like Stellarium
3/ Check that you have plenty of storage in that SSD drive
4/ When installing Stellarium let Stellarium choose the path location ( usually program x86 ) and let it put a shortcut on your desktop, don’t create a shortcut manually.
5/ What other 3rd party software do you have running when trying to open and run Stellarium ? Something could be corrupted ??
6/ If your last resort is to buy a new laptop , I recommend the Intel NUC minimum i5 processor ( i7 is better ) SSD 1TB , 16GB Ram etc……
7/ Stellarium requires a solid processor and plenty of storage
8/ Good luck sorry can’t offer any more advice
Martin
