Hi all,
I bought an older Panasonic Tough Book CF-19 and it has Linux Q4OS. I bought the tough book for running a program called T5 Suite (a car tuning software for SAAB). So far, I have purchased a windows 7 DVD with access code. The tough book does not have a disc drive, and I plugged an apple DVD drive in and tried to install its driver. I work in a computer department at my college and a colleague loaned me one of their DVD drives but from my research it may take more than downloading the driver to be used with linux.
See link: https://www.cmos.blog/use-apples-usb-superdrive-with-linux/
I don't mean to offend anyone by removing linux, but the software that I intend to use is best suited for Windows 7.
My question:
Should I try to figure out that guide, or should I try to use a different DVD drive that may not be so challenging. Or, are there any other suggestions to get me back to windows...
I really appreciate the help, I am totally lost here.
