When I bring up No Man's Sky in GOG Galaxy, it says "Not Compatible".

Does this mean that GOG Galaxy thinks my laptop doesn't meet the system requirements?

My laptop is an ASUS Q551LN-BBI706 that comes with NVIDIA GeForce 840M for graphics. I've upgraded with the maximum 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD (putting the conventional hd in the slot where the optical drive used to go) using all the money I saved from not being ripped off by gaming console manufacturers. #PCMasterRace

This laptop can play Arkham Knight and should be able to handle just about anything (except FRACT OSC because nobody can play that game) I read online that the system requirements for No Man's Sky were really low. My laptop should be good to go, right?

I would post a link to a screenshot but this forum blocks people from posting links and limits the allowed attachments for images below the file size of an HD screenshot. What the hell, GOG? Fix your forums.

When GOG Galaxy says 'not compatible' that means that either:

1) The game is not compatible with Galaxy (there are some games that have to be installed manually), or:

2) There is no game installer for your current platform (you are using a Mac, but the game is Windows-only.)

Since there isn't a No Man's Sky installer at all yet, I'm willing to bet 2) is the reason here!

In fact, if I set Galaxy to show only Windows games, No Man's Sky doesn't appear on my list, so I'm sure 2 is the problem.

Well, it's not out yet, so of course install is greyed out.

Also, a gtx 480 is the minimum GPU, and as that's about 3x as fast as your 840m I wouldn't expect miracles performance-wise.
