How do i use cd without cd drive?

[Carl]

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Except if you can log in to the download site (link below), rather than merely having, at some point, an outdated version of the software on a CD or flash drive, you will have access to the most up to date version of the software,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 guess my MacOS 10.13.6 is not compatible with the CD I bought for the 2021 CD. Please help me install the app so I can begin downloading my tax info.

I bought the CD at Randolph AFB, where I always buy the yearly edition.  Then a friend of mine lets me use his disc device to download the new program.

Sorry you can not install the 2021 program at all.  You should try to get a refund for it or use another computer to install it on.   Or you can use the Online web  version.  We can tell you how to transfer from 2020 on your computer into the Online version.

If you used the Desktop program before you may notice several differences and not like the online version. It has less features and no Forms Mode. You can only do 1 return. Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2020 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done. In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something. You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.

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.

I bought CD at Costco

@trannguyenthue2021   What is your question?  Don't you have a CD drive in your computer?  

Use the download method instead of the CD.  It has more advantages over CD.  Then you can also download it another computer.

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