Windows 10: Lotus Organizer 6.1

I have an original software for Lotus Organizer 6.1 installed on my laptop. Installed from a CD Rom purchased from IBM. Now I have an issue. I have a new laptop which does not have a CD ROM drive. So how may I install the programme on the new laptop?

Advice on how to solve this issue would be much appreciated.

For reference:

It now appears that all of the problems reported in this thread against the use of PC Suite and Lotus Organizer relate in some way to problems with the Organizer tabs.

PC Sync uses the Lotus Organizer Application Programming Interface (API) functions in order to provide a list of tabs for each data type and also to suggest a default tab for each data type. The external label given by the user to any given tab is associated
by the API to an internal tab name used by Organizer.

It appears that in some circumstances tabs can either become corrupt, as described by chrisjj above or the linking between external and internal names can be lost. Whilst neither of these problems is caused by PC Sync, it does affect the user experience.

As such, the next version of PC Suite (6.83) will contain some changes to hopefully improve the end user experience. In summary, these changes should provide more validation of the selected tabs and more informative error messages when problems are encountered.

I am going to have to give up on PC Suite Sync., having reported the issue to Nokia and posted on this forum with no known solution (and having tried all workarounds suggested). I guess since it's free software I really can't expect everything to work!
Does anyone know of any for-sale, or even open-source, software that will sync. my Nokia E61 with Lotus Organizer?

I finally managed to fix the issue. I seems that PC Sync just stops with the strange error message if it hits a Lotus Organizer section that is corrupted. Instead of skipping and reporting it just stops. To workaround this I visited and tried to archive
all the Lotus Organizer Sections in my organizer file. When I hit on sections that the Archive process reported a problem for (all were very old), I exported, imported manually to the archive, and then deleted the corrupted section. After doing all that, the
Sync worked just fine (however, it's a shame that the text of the To Dos is truncated, and the phone numbers in the contacts are not added into the organizer file).
