There are a few ways you can download old games onto your laptop without using a DVD, CD, or USB drive:
1. Purchase and download the game from an online platform such as Steam, GOG, or Origin. These platforms allow you to purchase and download games directly to your computer without the need for physical media.
2. Use a virtual drive software such as Daemon Tools or Virtual CloneDrive to mount an ISO file of the game. You can then install the game from the virtual drive as if you were using a physical disc.
3. If the game is available for download from the developer's website or another trusted source, you can simply download the game files directly to your computer and install it from there.
4. If you have access to another computer with a DVD drive, you can create an ISO file of the game disc and transfer it to your laptop using a cloud storage service or network sharing.
Remember to always download games from reputable sources to avoid malware or other security risks.
