SIMCITY Doesn't play after installing EA

I upgraded my computer and I had previously been playing SIMCITY on it just fine using Origin. Now on the new computer I was forced to install EA. Download of Simcity went fine, (Although super slow compared to Origin, but thats for another day) but when I went to open it, it gave me the [1008] error. My graphics card is leaps and bounds better now than my old laptop. So after searching these boards for hours, I tried right clicking the app, running as admin, as well as the troubleshoot compatibility. After doing that it stopped giving the error , and now it opens to the EA app and says "Your game failed to launch. An error on our end caused your launch to fail. Try again later."  I know it's an old game, but I bought it, and I should be able to play it. (EA is still selling it too) I am not the most computer savvy person-so please explain your suggestions to make it work like you are explaining to an 80 year old. 

New computer is a Dell Latitude 5300
