Help with ViewNX2

Hello, i hope someone can help me. I had a D5100 for years and used NX2 to convert the RAW file to JPEG so i could use lightroom to edit, i now have a D5300 and when i am opening NX2 it says 'some NEF RAW files cannot be converted and will be skipped' or words to that effect, as such i cant use them as they remain in NEF format and they wont open in lightroom, any suggestions?

Sounds like neither NX2 nor your version of Lightroom are recent enough to support the .NEF files coming from your D5300. You may need to switch to using NX-D instead since NX-2 is no longer supported.

You could also upgrade your version of Lightroom since a more current version of Lightroom would open the raw files from your D5300 directly.
 
What version of Lightroom are you using? The D5100 should have been able to open RAW files from that camera. Also try updating whatever version of Lightroom you have to see if it will open your RAW files.
