My new computer doesn't have a disk drive. If I buy this newer version - can I download the software?

I assume you could --ask the Manufacture --I suggest you order a satellite disk drive from Amazon. You will eventually need one!

The back-up software didn't come with the disk I had to get the MAC carbon Copy Copy Cloner application which was free on-line

There was no software - just Windows 8 since it was a brand new computer. It's just that my old disks were too scratched to reuse.

Yes if you do not have a cd drive on the computer you are trying to download it to.

Software disks are not included because the laptop does not an CD-ROM drive. It is built like a netbook that has no slots for disks. If you want to upgrade your system at all, you would need to purchase the upgrade directly from Windows. Windows will give you the files that you need for the upgrade, and you would probably just have to go through the reinstall process. I might be a bit off on the upgrade process, but for this PC there are no disks involved in a software upgrade, that is for sure.

It does not come with anything other than the drive and a CD to install the Magician and Migration software. I would purchase an external hdd enclosure.

Should have come with CD keys and a disk, if not contact seller for missing software

Yup, you need a flash drive with the following file on it. Just load it in as a driver during installation. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ra8qf8shjbnm1yk/Win7%20AHCI%20Drviers%20for%20v3-772g-9829.rar

you have both options. Mine came with a CD. Downloading online will give you the most up to date software.

You do not need to install their software, you should be able to plug the drive in and see it on your machine. You will have to use their disk and launch their program to clone the old disk to a new disk. I have been using their device and the EZGig software sine version 1 and never had a problem.

No you need a new board, no way to download new software other than new board

That is a disk that you install, I'm sure if you look you can find a product key to purchase for an immediate download. Hope this helps.

It's not an option with this version. You have to wipe the hard drive and install Windows 7 from scratch. So try and save your data off another drive or usb device.

No, it's an unformatted drive with no software loaded. You will need your own software to load.

Download online via website. Even if you have purchased it in the form of a disk, generally the package will contain instructions on where to go to download it from their website. Could probably also copy the software from disk to usb stick on another computer that has a disk drive.By far the easiest is to just buy online.

The version I bought came with a CD disk in the box. Make sure of what the ad says, because some may be a download only, with no CD.
