I assume you are referring to Lightroom Classic. Are the image files on the laptop? Is Lightroom looking for the image files in the same location (same drive name or drive letter) as on the other computer?

My image files are on an external hard drive. I'm using the same for both my computer

If you use Windows, then the same drive could have different drive letters on both computers.

I suspect that the external hard drive has a different name or drive letter when connected to the laptop. Check to ensure that the drive letter or name is the same or in the library module right-click on the topmost folder and choose the option to find missing folders or update the folder location and choose the appropriate folder on the laptop that points to the external hard drive.

So what is your OS (Mac or Windows)? What is the name (Mac) or drive letter (Windows) of the external drive? What is the file name of one of these images?

If you don't answer the questions, you make it very hard to help you.

So when Lightroom shows a '!' sign on an image and you click on that exclamation mark, you will get a dialog saying the image is missing and what Lightroom thinks the path to the image should be. What is the difference between that path and the real path of the image?
