Firstly, which version of Moodle is this?
Can I assume that you are first trying to make a copy of your existing site BEFORE upgrading it. While you can do it in one step it may not be the best idea.
Can you step us through what you have done to get to this stage?
I'm not familiar with WAMP (I'm not a Windows user) but it's unlikely that Moodle is detecting the incorrect version of the database. So it's likely your database configuration is incorrect somewhere.

You've had a lot of answers but nobody has asked you *how* you installed Moodle on your laptop? Is this using a one-click installer? If not, what instructions did you follow?
I ask because most "solutions" include something that runs cron.
