Thanks for joining the Community and getting involved with this thread, MikeW48.
To verify my understanding, does your new laptop not have a optical disk drive (ODD), or are you noticing a compatibility issue with the Windows 11 operating system it uses?
If your computer doesn't have on ODD to insert the disc, you can consider using an external disk drive.
In the event you're noticing a compatibility issue with Windows 11, you can try using a different computer. You also have the option of using a computer with a disk drive if your current one doesn't have one built-in, and you'd rather not use an external.
You can additionally consider upgrading if you'd like to. If so, I'd recommend referring to our Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop for Windows & Mac article for detailed steps on the process.
You'll be able to find many detailed resources about using QuickBooks in our help article archives.
Please feel welcome to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have an awesome Wednesday!
