When I start up the game it tells me to press any button to start. I press a button and then it tells me to insert the disk and press continue. I don't have a disk because I purchased the premium Deluxe Edition online it's bought-and-paid-for it says the game is installed but everytime I press continue it just pops up again please insert disc.

    Try this:

    Deactivate Windows Defender and/or any firewalls

    For the 10 dvd version its mendatory to insert the disk 1 for each launch!

    you can create an iso from your disk and use the iso instead. 

    it was confirmed by the editor that for the physical version its mendatory to insert the disk each time...

    That's a bit rubbish, its linked to your Microsoft account for security...

    Makes no sense to me 😔

    Exactly... i thought it was a bug but no:
