For your reference:
I also used a new notebook to install armory last month.
Bitcoin core 0.13.2 need
a week to dowmload all blocks. (if not, you cannot Import or Restore Wallet at first time setup of armory)
then Installed Armory 095.1, go to File > Settings and uncheck the box "Let Armory run Bitcoin Core in the background". Stop Armory. Start Bitcoin Core. Start Armory again.
need bitcoin core is running. then let armory build all blocks from bitcoin core that may take a few hours. Once complete, you can see armory online that means you able to import or restore your wallets.
