Accessing older version of Office

I have just bought a new lap top which has come with Windows 10.
On my old lap top I had 'Office Home and Student' software - I still have the original CD and product key.

Is there a way I can transfer the software from my old lap top to my new one? (My new one doesn't have anywhere to put a CD in).

    You can mount the disk in another pc and then access it via a network connection to do the installation.

    Three methods:

    1. use USB external CD ROM drive
    2. copy your Office Home and Student' software on a Cloud storage, then download it from your new laptop
    3. create a share folder on your old laptop, put Office Home and Student' software there, then access to share folder from new laptop.
