You do not actually need a disk drive to use desktop software. You can easily just download the software to your computer. Tax year 2024 was the first year that TT did away with the plastic CD's. So many users were confused by the concept of just downloading the software that TT made plastic CD's available for an extra $10 to comfort them. We do not know if they will do that for 2025. There is NO difference between the downloaded desktop software and the software that was installed from a piece of plastic. Most new computers do not have disk drives---thus the download software instead.
