Product: Pavilion TG01-2260xt PC Desktop
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Setting up brand new Pavilion TG01-2260xt PC Desktop, and I have programs to install from CDs, but I can't find a CD-ROM drive on this PC. How to install the programs?
I was not aware there were any desktop PCs made these days lacking CD capability.🙄

Its specs

It does not have option with Optical Disc Drive (ODD or CD/DVD drive). Many machines on market today do not have ODD therefore we have to use external ODD.

 

There are many around, many of them support BluRay too. Pioneer products are good. You can use cheaper brands such as LG, Lite-On ... For example
