as long as you LEGGALY OWN it. good day sir
as long as you enter LEGAL product key code you will be fine, its just easier to download because some people cant hold onto CDs also the downloaded softwares comes with trial version usually, so you should be fine with it.
I would not recommend it. Most places you can download copyrighted software usually have virus’s integrated into them. It is also illegal to do so even if you own the disc. Depending on the software, you may be able to get it directly from the manufactures website via a trial download. Than you may be able to enter the serial number once you install it.
If its a windows disc you need, you can request a replacement disc from dell or whatever company you ordered the computer from. I know for sure dell has no problem sending out replacement disc.
