MS WORKS SUITE 2005 program disc will not load in Windows 10 in my HP Pav. laptop

MS WORKS SUITE 2005 program disc will not load in Windows 10 in my HP Pav. laptop ,But will load & work in my ASUS desktop

I have a number of WORKS .wdb files I use often. When I got my HP Pavilion laptop I try to load my original MS WORKS SUITE 2005 program disc & It wouldn't load. I tried everything But the disc spins awhile then stops. I researched it here & got all comments that WORKS won't work with Windows 10 Home. So I gave up & used a old computer with XP on it to run my files. WAS A PAIN with 2 computers. WORKS worked fine in XP. 

   Now I bought a new computer for a desktop with a tower. It is a ASUS M32 with Windows 10 Home also. Same program as the HP laptop. I'm running everything as a duplicate: same virus/malware protection, same browsers, same files, same pics & music. Two Identical desktops. Since some out there in MS community said they had no problems with running WORKS in Windows 10, I thought I'd try my MS program disc in it. Loaded & works just perfect, Just like the XP computer. I can work on any .wdb files & no issues at all. So I went back to the HP laptop to try again. It WILL NOT WORK. I tried putting the disc in, It spins but doesn't show up. I tried to check the registry for Lower & Upper filters (there are none). I tried to copy all the files from the disc in the other computer & bring them over on a flash drive & put them on the desktop. It will not AUTORUN or run as Adm. 

   This much I know is that WORKS WILL work in Windows 10 Home just fine. It is that HP that won't work. The disc drive will burn a disc. Play a DVD movie or CD. It's not a bad drive, It's set up in BIOS. It knows it's there & see itself fine. Doesn't need a driver. BUT it cannot run that MS WORKS program disc. (It is a original--not a copy--& I have the key codes on the box). Can Anyone Please help? Tell me WHY ? The other answer I heard was to buy another External drive w/ a USB plug & feed it that way. But I think the drive isn't the problem. What do you think?

Any Help ?
