Windows 10: Program on cd copy to thumb drive

Hi, not sure if this is the right forum but here goes.

I have the original microsoft money program on cd. which is copyright protectd. It was loaded onto this laptop 6 years ago when the operating system was windows 7 I believe. I have since upgraded to windows 10. I am changing my laptop which does not have a cd drive. I wish to continue using the program and would like to know the best options to copy the cd to a thumb drive. Alternatively I have seen various upgrade programs on the net and would like to know if they would be an alternative?

Thanks



:)

Hi Hankriegler,

• 
  Press Windows key + X.
  
• 
  Click file explorer from the list.
  
• 
  Select the CD/DVD drive and hit Enter.
  
• 
  Select the files you want to copy from the CD/DVD, then select the drive where you want to paste or save.
  

I hope the information is helpful.

Thank you.

 

CD/DVD drive is not correctly displayed

All the resolutions listed under Method 1 apply to the cases when CD/DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs. Fortunately, my drive is recognized by Windows and other programs. I tried all the step-by-step resolutions listed, but did not
work. For some reason, my CD/DVD drive icon is not the right icon for the drive, and is for compact flash. Any idea?

I also reset my BIOS settings back to factory reset, but it did not help.
