INSTALLING A CANON CANOSCAN LIDE 210 ONTO LAPTOP WITH WINDOWS 11

I have a new laptop with windows 11. I have an old Canon CanoScan LiDE 210. I don't have a CD/DVD writer drive to use the disk to install the scanner. I tried to get the driver installed via Canon's website for this model scanner. I found it but, this didn't appear to work so I bought an external drive so I could use the CD to install the software. This all appeared to be going ok then a message came up during installation stating "A newer version of scanner Driver is already installed. The installation will be cancelled". Guessing this was what I installed from Canon so thought it would still work. On one attempt I clicked on OK but when I tried to start up the scanner it didn't work. I found the aps but next to each one was "..." ie the scanner driver; Canon NP Navigator etc they displayed "..." rather than a size of the ap. Subsequently I uninstalled anything to do with the canon scanner and started again (restarting the computer in between). On the second attempt the same message came up and I clicked on the X in the corner but same results. Is the scanner just too old? Do I need to buy a new one? I don't know what to do now. If anyone can help that would be appreciated. Thank you
