Can I download Skyrim from Steam after I bought and installed it on another computer?

I bought Skyrim (DVD, not download) for my PC several months ago and played the game through Steam. The PC was put in storage, along with the game, and I now have a laptop that can run the game. I was told by someone that I can download Skyrim to my laptop through Steam because I already bought the game and was using the Steam launcher to play it. I cannot find a way to do this through Steam anywhere. Is there a way to get Skyrim installed without diving through two storage units to try and find the DVD for it, or getting access to that computer where it is installed?

    If you have Steam on your new laptop, you should be able to just log into your account and go to Games and see what you have purchased. Then just click Skyrim and Install. If you don't see it, I would contact Steam Support and ask what may have happened.

    Steam support link here, if you can't find Skyrim - https://support.steampowered.com/?l=english

    Hope this helps
