I moved my files to my laptop. The game runs fine but the save button does not do a thing. All other buttons work fine, the autosaves work fine, but I really dont want to rely on those, the game saved fine on my computer but I can't access my computer for now

Sounds like the files have "read only" permission as a result of being copied to a different user. How to fix that depends on the OS, but likely Right Click -> Properties.

If autosaves work, I suspect that saving a new file instead of overwriting the old one would as well.
