I have a laptop with NO cd drive. It is a aspire S3 WIN8.1. My question is can I download the software from somewhere online? Thanks

Take a look at their web site www.contecmed.com. Here's the download page, looks like it should work. http://www.contecmed.com/index.php?option=com_docman&Itemid=590

No. The only thing it includes is the Windows Operating System preinstalled on the laptop. You receive no software discs. There is a recovery partition set up on the hard drive to reinstall Windows.

No. No cd/DVD drive. Most programs have online drivers so i haven't missed having a physical drive.

You do not need to install their software, you should be able to plug the drive in and see it on your machine. You will have to use their disk and launch their program to clone the old disk to a new disk. I have been using their device and the EZGig software sine version 1 and never had a problem.

Check he website. I think I saw some programs that you could download. But the drive works like any other so you can just use your OS backup software which works like a charm. It's really plug and play, no software needed.

You can download the software for free over at Serato's website, which will mitigate the issue of having no optical disc drive. This will also ensure you have the latest version installed.

Download online via website. Even if you have purchased it in the form of a disk, generally the package will contain instructions on where to go to download it from their website. Could probably also copy the software from disk to usb stick on another computer that has a disk drive.By far the easiest is to just buy online.

My lap top did not come with a disk. The Windows operating system already came pre installed on the laptop. Are you possibly looking for a product key for Microsoft Office? Because that is not included. However, if the computer is asking for a product key for the OS, you may have gotten a defective system.

Maybe you can download the drivers online, not sure you might need that disc or perhaps is there a way of copying the disc content onto a runable application on a hard drive.

That's the one with no cd drive right? Yeah it works. I loved mine for the two days it worked. Lol I left my computer on over night (idk if that's what broke it and it shouldn't of been a reason either) but when I awoke the following morning my aspire didn't recognize it anymore. 20 bucks down the drain.

Probably won't be able to. As others have said you can try searching online and loading onto a USB device or simply installing directly from the web if that's possible. There are several inexpensive external DVD / CD-Roms out there that will do the job nicely. And the good news is the external drive can be used on other PCs/laptops.

What type of programs?If you have content on a flash drive or external drive then definitely yes. If it is a program downloaded from the internet or bought from the microsoft app store then definitely yes. However, if you are wondering about CDs or DVDs, then you will need to find an external disc drive in order to load them onto the computer. Hope this helps!

you can use the CD or download it online. That's all I did. Is that what you need?

I have a Windows 8 computer and have no problem using it. The hard drive I have in the case is from a Windows 7 computer. No issues and no installation of software necessary.

Owens: You have two options. One, you purchase the software and download it on line. Unfortunately this laptop does not have a built in disk (DVD) drive. So you purchase software from a source (like Microsoft) and then down load it on to your laptop. That is one of the reason I returned my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 14-b013cl and instead purchased a Dell from Amazon. Unfortunately the description of the computer from Amazon did not make it clear that this computer does not have a built in disk drive. The only other way is to purchase an external disk drive and use it to download software. If you have already have various software disks, then purchasing an external drive probably will be a cheaper option than buying a bunch of new software. Another option, you might want to look at Apache Open Office, which is free @ openoffice.org. Apache Open Office can do everything Microsoft Office can and again it is free. Hope this helps.
