I had Roxio purchased last year, but I un-installed because everytime I
opened PC, annoying message popping-up.
Thanks for any help on this in advance.

Since that CD would not be a boot CD it can be copied with any CD copy or
writing program. You could even copy it to a flash drive or portable hard
drive for storage.
Most CDs can be copied. You can also copy the USB "setup" process and
store this on your hard drive.
See the Freeware section here.

All you need is a burner and writable media.
I don't know how "free" this one is. Maybe you'll be peppered by
advertisements while the tool is running.

I would recommend creating an ISO image of the disk. I use MagicDisc.

I have a WD Passport portable drive with me all the time, and it has ISO
images of more than 100 DVD & CD that I might want to have with me. The
MagicDisc program allows you to mount the ISO image so that I can mount
any of those images as needed. It sure beats carrying around 100
physical CDs/DVDs

No need of an ISO image file for a device install. Just have to copy
the adapter install / setup files onto a folder anywhere your Windows
can see.
An ISO file is needed for a bootable CD / DVD mainly.
I prefer making ISOs of install disc simply because it keeps all the
files in their original directory structures easily. If the CD/DVD had
an autorun.inf with pararmeters for starting the install, then those
also are inside of the ISO.
Your way will of course work but for keeping things simple using ISOs is
the way to go.
