Windows 7 VM and Windows 7 program on CD

[Chucktuna]

Hi,
I'm rather new on Proxmox. I have it installed on an Intel NUC. I have an LXC container with HA, NodeRed, Portainer running. I would like to spin up a Window 7 OS as a VM.
I have a Windows 7 program on CD. If I go to the windows 7 ip address on the server, my client computer will be running on Windows 7. My client computer has a CD RW drive. How do I pass through the CD player to the server? Also, how do I use the HD connected to the server or the local HD on my client computer.

TIA,
Steve

My client computer has a CD RW drive. How do I pass through the CD player to the server?

That's really complicated. Instead, one would usually create an ISO from the CD on the client (using K3B or any other software that can copy optical discs) and copy the ISO to Proxmox (using USB or scp) and select the ISO for the virtual optical drive of the VM.

Also, how do I use the HD connected to the server or the local HD on my client computer.

What is "HD"? I don't think I understand the question. The Proxmox server and your client cannot (easily) use each other's hardware. You use a client to manage Proxmox and use VMs (remotely).
