Hello:
I have a MacBook Air; OS X Yosemite version 10.10.5. I do not have a CD/DVD drive, but really need to install a Special Library CD that is Windows based. Is there a way for me to run the Windows-based CD on my Mac if I buy an external CD/DVD player?
Thanks a bunch!

If it contains Windows programs, use CrossOver Mac, Wine, VirtualBox, Boot Camp, or similar software.
If it only contains document files, it depends on what type of documents they are.

Hi Niel, thanks for writing back. I'm looking at the back of the CD jacket. It just says that the system requirements is Microsoft Windows, XP, Vista, etc. I do know that the Library is all text, no pics. It also says "If your computer has no CD-Rom drive, you may copy this CD-ROM to a supported medium, such as a USB Flash drive, and install the program from that." How do I do that without a CD drive? What is the "supported medium?" I don't understand. Oh, where can I get CrossOver Mac and the other software you mentioned?

1. You’ll need a computer with an optical drive, or an external one. If you use a different computer, drag-copy the CD’s contents to an external drive.
2. Boot Camp is preloaded on your computer, but needs Windows to work. Use Google to search for the other products.
