Laptop doesn't have a CD compartment. How can I transfer a program that I could only install on my PC using a CD to my laptop?

Don't want to hear: work with your program on the PC. No, I want to be able to work with my video editing program on the go! Ask for helpful tips

Copy it to another program as an .iso image and include this file on the laptop.

Would google how to copy CD into USB.

What kind of laptop do you have?

Obtain an external usb dvd drive or, if not copy-protected, copy it to a USB stick on another computer…

Does that happen quickly? About 10min?

External DVD drive

Or you can copy (if not copy-protected) this to a USB stick / SD card

HP

Depending on the size of the CD. Depending on the reading speed of the reader.

But 10min. Probably not

Why didn't you buy an external drive long ago? Now in the crisis you probably won't get one.
