can i get my text messages to pop up on my laptop

You can't get iMessages on your Windows machine. You can check and see if your carrier offers a way to view your SMS messages on your computer. My carrier, Verizon, has a service that allows you to do that.

iPhones are not exactly like Androids. If you want a phone that behaves just like an Android phone, get an Android phone.
