I recently got a new laptop and have finally been able to transfer CK2 from my PC to the laptop. However, when I try to launch the game nothing happens, the screen disappears but the game does not start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please try installing:
First: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555
After that: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328
Then: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
(If that doesn't do anything then http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 )
Then: visit the Windows Update site and allow it to apply all .NET updates/patches it wants to, for all .NET versions.
Then right-click on ck2.exe and ck2game.exe and set them to run as the Admin user, and to disable desktop composition.
And then check if you can run the game after that.

On all three of those Microsoft download sites Windows 8 is not one of the supported operating systems, will that matter?
