transfer sims 3 (disc download) to new laptop

★ Apprentice

hi, so I have recently bought a new laptop and have found no issues transferring my sims 4 and sims 3 across with all their expansions through origin. however, my friend has given me a disc version of a sims 3 expansion pack (she doesn't play anymore) and I was wondering if there was a way to get this onto my laptop without a disc slot. she has already redeemed the code on her account I believe so I can't do it that way, but I was thinking if I started up my old laptop and used it's disc drive to install it onto my origin account could I then digitally download it to my new laptop?

any help or advice would be much appreciated : ) x

This is not going to work, If your friend used the code associated with the expansion then it is locked to their account and you cannot use it at all.

 

Thanks.
