I have CD which is an edition of a mapping system called Microsoft Autoroute (Long out of production) and is around 15 years old. The system is on 2 CD's which have to be copied in order.
I installed it onto my desktop which is running Windows 10 (free download) and for convenience I also want to install it onto my oldest laptop which is also running Windows 10, but the problem is it does not have an optical drive! I could buy a remote CD drive but I only want to use it the one time so that seems a bit expensive for a one off.
As I said it is installed and works perfectly in my desktop, so is there any way that I can transfer the mapping information onto a Memory Stick, either to stay there. or to be downloaded again onto my laptop hard drive. It matters not which one it is. I have tried a few times, but failed dismally each time. Is there a way to transfer it to the Hard Drive or am I tilting at the proverbial windmills?
It is not as good for up to date accuracy as using Google Maps because it is slightly out of date where main roads are concerned, but not so out of date to be useless. It is also much quicker than google mapping to record a complicated route which can be updated later.
