Do you not have a CD/DVD drive on your computer to insert the disc into?

Are you saying nothing happens when you insert the CD into the drive?

You need to install the software on your computer, if you are using Windows 10, see the following

-----------------------
You CD setup should start automatically. When it doesn't:

- Hold down the Windows+R keys to open the Run window.
- Click Browse, and then navigate to the TurboTax CD on your CD/DVD/RW drive (usually Drive D).
- Double-click the setup.exe file.
- Click OK to launch the installer.

Your post says Turbotax 2016 (twenty sixteen). TurboTax only supports their software for the current tax filing year and 3 years back. TurboTax 2016 hasn't been supported or available from TurboTax for 2 years now. Even if you do have the CD and manage to install it, the required critical updates and corrections are no longer available. So depending on the complexity of your return, chances are it will not be correct.

TO install from a CD with no CD drive, you have to use a computer that does have a CD drive. Then copy the contents of the CD to a USB flash drive and install on your computer from the USB flash drive.

@Carl   I think the post you were responding to (that was posted now in 2022) has been moved to a new post here.  Did a Mod move it?  Never saw that happen before.
