    How can I play my old disk games on a new laptop with no disk drive?


    I have a few disk games for PC I bought a long time ago: Halo CE, Halo 2, Flight Simulator X, Age of Empires 1 and 2, among others. The problem is that my new laptop does not come with a disk drive. Is there a legal way to get an .iso file or some other installer so I can continue to play my legacy games? I know, I already have Halo TMCC on my Xbox and I can get the Age of Empires Definitive through the Game Pass, but I want to play my games using my existing licenses. Is there any hope? Thanks for any information you may provide me.

    How to play and install a game with no disk drive?

    My disk drive in my laptop got damaged and I am unable to play my Age of Empires game that I have played and enjoyed for years now. I am a college student so I'm trying to save money and avoid buying an external disk drive. I tried a factory reset before
    I figured out it was a hardware issue so it uninstalled from my laptop. Is there anyway to get it back on my laptop to play it with out having to buy a digital copy? Thank you.

    Disk Drive

    HI, I'm using a HP15 Laptop with Windows 10. When I insert a DVD into the Disk Drive built into the laptop, I don't know how to get it to play. I'm not real computer savvy but manage. I can hear the disk drive run, but nothing shows up on the screen to
    prompt me to play or run. Any suggestions on how to view the prompts or disk would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Flash Drive and Disk Reader .

    "Insert a disk"

    My computer is approximately 6 years old and has been used extensively and the drive that plays the flash drives and disks has always worked. Now when I try to play either type, the report comes up immediately, "Insert disk" and there is already one in
    it. I have taken it to the Geek Squad and they say that everything is okay. Any suggestions - and this notice comes up on both types - new ones and ones that have been used for years.
