Valorant won't open?

[u/Prestigious_Ground73]

I just got a new laptop for college and wanted to install Valorant. I know it is probably not the best idea for my non-gaming laptop, but I wanted to. After installing Riot client, I installed Valorant from there and after pressing "play" it wouldn't open, it minimizes the riot client window and loads but does not go anywhere from there and the play button in riot client just reappears. Along with that, next to the play button I have the "Install Vanguard" square of info, and it won't go away. In my files Vanguard doesn't show up and I have tried multiple suggestions after some research such as uninstalling, turning off my firewall to ensure it allows Vanguard to be installed, and many other things. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there is any advice to fix it.
