You can download the entire program, you don't have to start with a CD.

I had been putting off buying a new computer because it's such an ordeal to transfer programs and files from old to new.  But the 2022 ProSeries program stopped working a couple weeks before April 18 on my desktop, so I had to finish the year with my backup.  (There was some Windows glitch that could not be fixed; 2021 and earlier years worked fine.)  Then I went shopping and found that "towers" are becoming obsolete.  Most options don't have an internal disk drive.  I bought a "mini" that is about the size of a Kleenex box, and doesn't weigh much more.  I have an external disk drive that I bought several years ago and haven't really used, so I'll hook that up eventually.
