What player are you trying to play the videos with? Have you tried playing the videos on Quick?

PC or Apple?
VLC player plays anything. Thats for PC.

My laptop has well over double those specs and doesn't play 4k flawlessly.

I don't think your processor can handle it. From what I found about reqs for decoding 4k: Most modern Intel chips from Skylake (5th Generation) onwards can decode 4k. But only from Kabylake can you use pay TV services like Netflix because you need to support HDCP 2.0 security.

i just uploaded it to you tube and that still didn't work. im going to see if i can view it using quick or the gopro app

Install K-Lite Codec Pack for free on your Win10 machine and it will play all of your video files even with the Windows Media Player. You don't need to install VLC.
I own a 2009 Core i7 and 4K works perfect with these codec on my old machine.

Download "Standard" or "Full"
