Where did you buy the CD?  And why did you buy a CD if you don’t have a CD drive?  You could have bought the download.

I was told I could download with a code.  In the the Package it indicated this is true and gives me the following license code for the download.  [product key removed]   I've used product for years but giving serious consideration to moving on

The box gives you download instructions along with the code ... what in the instructions is giving you trouble ?

Please contact Support.  When using Turbo Tax-Free Edition and needing to speak with a live representative, you will be asked to upgrade to Plus benefits before speaking with a live representative. However, this is the TurboTax assistance forum and you are more than welcome to ask questions here, we are here to assist! 

* Please follow the directions in the TurboTax FAQ below for resolution: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3300041

You will be asked for simple pieces of information and then will put a download in your account.  We cannot do this for you because it would require personal information you wouldn't want in a very public internet forum like this in order to access your account.

Please start here and you'll be given a telephone number to the right group to help you.

If you're using the TurboTax CD/Download software or can't sign into your account, https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact/ to contact us. Ask your question, click Continue, and follow our onscreen instructions.

@agana300 Do you have a question?   We do not know what "x/c/v" is supposed to mean.

I find it much simpler to just find any computer with a CD drive in it. Then copy the contents of the CD to s USB thumb drive. Then install the program on the desired computer from the thumb drive.

Except if you can log in to the download site (link below), rather than merely having, at some point, an outdated version of the software on a CD or flash drive, you will have access to the most up to date version of the software,

I need info on how to install a CD drive that I purchased from staples. I don’t have a CD drive on my new HP computer.

There should be a card in the CD case on on the CD envelope that says how to download it and you will need the 14 or 16 digit code from it to enter.

See my answer right above your post.  Do the download method instead.  It works better.
