Minecraft launcher keeps opening a new launcher?

I'm playing on 1.7.4 as of right now. But anyways whenever I click "play" on the new Minecraft launcher it opens up the program (with the workbench icon) then closes it after 5-8 seconds then opens up the launcher again. How can I fix this solution?

What is this code thing to buy minecraft?

Well I made an account and want to buy minecraft. So I clicked the "get minecraft" button and it gives me 3 steps:
1 cerate an account
2 buy or redeem a code
3 download/install minecraft
there's also 2 things that say "create an account" and "already have an account?" but I can't click them… So my question is what is the code I need and how do I use/redeem it. In other words how do the last 2 steps work? WHAT DO I DOOO

Microsoft Surface Pro Gaming?

I recently got a regular Microsoft surface for Christmas, and i really don't want it. What i asked for originally was the Surface Pro, which as i understand has the capability to run steam games, and minecraft, which is part of the reason i wanted it. My parents made the mistake of buying the regular Surface, which i'm grateful for, but it does not have the capability to run steam games, and minecraft. I'm now in a situation where i have the Surface ($349), the touch tablet 2 (for the surface, around $125), and $100 extra. I'm wondering how many games can the surface pro hold on steam while still having minecraft, and how fast they would be (lets say the games are like TF2, DOTA, ect.) so i can make a decision on whether to sell only the surface, purchase a pro, and use the touchpad with it, or to just sell both and buy a new laptop with a budget of 500-650$.

I've been wanting to play minecraft for years. I eventually bought it and it said I had "bad video card drivers" So I assumed it wasn't messing up, it was my video card. I think I have 4 of them. (The drivers.)
I have Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 2310M CPU @ 2.10GHz Will I ever be able to play minecraft on this computer? If so how do I change it? And which one to change to?
