"In 2011, during my school years, I purchased PS CS5 Extended for my MacBook. Recently, I acquired a new Windows laptop which doesn't have a DVD player.

If you want only Photoshop, there is a Photography plan (annual) that you can pay in a lump sum for the year or pay each month for $9.99. You may have to scroll to find it.
