Yes you can. I have mine set up with the 32 bit Microsoft 7 operating system, and I did just recently borrow a USB external CD drive, and successfully installed Mircosoft Office 2003 small business edition (Word Excel Powerpoint Outlook). Not a problem at all. Just be sure, for convenience sake, whatever you install doesn't require a CD to be present whenever whatever program is running, though very few programs are like that. I ran into one that was an automobile service manual for a 1999 model car. The Office 2003 I installed does not need the cd to run.

Yes, you can. Most general external drives should do. I have an LG. HP also makes them.

It doesnt not include an optical drive for DVDs/CDs. You will need to purchase an External Drive.

I have not personally yet installed anything with the portable DVD /CD player but u should be able. To use it just like a regular drive to install software. And programs as u would on a regular computer. It may or may or may not need first the CD it came with the dvd player.

All I know to say is try it. It works with USB to hook to my computer. And I can put a DVD or CD into the computer and play it. I don't have an external drive.

Does anyone have any recommendations for purchasing an external CD/DVD drive? Will any one do?

You can if you have the game on some other media, or if you plug in a DVD drive accessory to the unit.USB sticks work well for installing programs that need to be done, but when you dont have a disk and a dvd reader/writer to do it.Hope that is helpful. The machine is capable of loading SIM software, (the game, sims...) no problem and running them also.

CD/DVD drive can not be installed in to the laptop. But, External slim DVD/RW drive can be purchased and connected through USB port, it works fine. I like this option as nowadays DVD/RW drive is rarely required and it can be kept aside.

Better off using an external DVD drive. Just plug it into USB port and be done. Also I put an USB 4way splitter on mine and it allows for my mouse, printer, external antenna for wireless signal, and DVD player/burner to work all together on 1 port. I got DVD at Best Buy great price and they have several to choose from mine is 24X.

You have to add an external USB based CD/DVD drive. Lenovo makes one, there are many others as well that will work.

You need to use an external USB DVD player. It is a great computer. Boots almost instantly. Very fast and powerful.

You'll have to have an extrenal CD/or DVD drive to do the installation. You can buy one on Amazon for a very small price. After that, you will NOT need to have the external optical drive plugged in.
