Media Steam question

Whats up guys,

So i have had steam for a long time, but have literally never seen a use for it, ive never used it for anything. A long time ago my friend said i should get it, so i did but never needed it for anything. Recently ive gotten into a nostalgic kick and am wanting to play some of my old school games like Battlefield 1942, but my delima is that i dont have a optical drive, so i cant install my old games that i have the CDs for.

My question is;

Can i type in the CD key that is on the game case into steam, and have that game be in my steam for me to install from steam?

thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

No, no you cant. But you can buy an external cd to install them.

Just grab yourself an usb disc drive for like ~$20. I've had a food Samsung one for a long time and more recently an LG one that my buddy gave me when I bought his computer. Unless you routinely use disc media and it's a hassle, this is by far the best option. The last computer I had with a disc drive was purchased in something like 2007. Nothing after that starting in 2012 has had one and I've never missed it.

Not so sure it's a bot, but definitely someone trying to spread links.
