Yes, you can change the floppy drive but you'll have to take apart the whole laptop.
If you have no experience taking fixing laptop, I wouldn't recommend trying it.
But if you still want to try it, I'll post a link with Toshiba laptop disassembly guides so you can try.
Most laptops manufactured since 2000 do not have floppy drives, or require you to purchase an external dongle. Older ones did have a floppy drive built-in.
Yes their appears to be an optional floppy drive port for this drive.
Most modern laptops do not have space for a floppy drive internally, so this is impossible on them. If you have an old laptop that has space for a floppy drive internally, it probably already has one so you don't need to install one. However if that existing internal floppy drive has failed you will have to replace it (assuming you can find a floppy drive to replace it with). To replace the existing internal floppy drive you will need the manufacturer's documents on how to open the laptop's case, get access to the floppy drive, and swap out the old one and replace it with the new one. This will almost certainly require special tools (e.g. torx drivers, wrenches) that you don't already have and will need to buy if you don't already frequently do such work.
You would have to get a CD drive which fits in your laptop or get an external USB one which you can connect to it
You can access the hard drive from the bottom of the laptop. If you turn the laptop upside down, you'll find the hard drive door under the Toshiba sticker with the laptop serial number. Remove two screws from the hard drive cover and then remove the cover. Slide the hard drive to the right and remove it. Transfer the hard drive bracket to a new hard drive.
Officially, two, if you give up the use of the floppy drive.
The Toshiba laptop m65 is an older model with a 100gb hard drive. it weighs nearly 7 pounds and has a 17 inch widescreen display. This is probably the closest a laptop will be to a desktop computer.

Yes, in the BIOS settings, you may need to change the drive type for a floppy disk if you are using a floppy disk drive. This involves configuring the settings to ensure the BIOS correctly recognizes the type of floppy drive connected, such as 3.5" or 5.25". If you're not using a floppy drive, you can usually disable it in the BIOS to improve boot times and resource allocation.
Floppy drives are identified by drive letters A and B. To change between them, simply enter CD A: or CD B:
A number of possibilities here: Have you tried in all USB ports? Have you tried the drive in another computer? I know on my Toshiba Laptop, if I plug the flash drive in B4 I power up, it doesn't read it, but if I remove the drive and then plug it back in it works (while machine is running)
