How can I download Photoshop Elements 2018 - the install files are on optical media

Hi,

 

I'm not sure what to do here.  I just purchaced a new laptop but it has no CD ROM and I have Elements 2018 on CD.  I have spent the last 2 hours trying to navigate this site, downloaded a bunch of stuff I didn't need to download and I can't seem to get any response for Customer support. Does anyone have any idea how I can do this?

One option would be to buy a cheap external DVD drive and install from your disc.
