What is correct names for GOOD user friendly circuit drawing program?

I would love to have a good affordable easy to use circuit design program. I want to design a circuit before I build it.

My laptop computer has no CD drive. Years ago I had a CD circuit drawing program that would never work, try to connect a resistor to a transistor the program would not allow it, message says, that part does not belong there. ???

I think it will be fun to type in a existing circuit that I might like to build to see if it really is a good circuit. Lots of online circuits don't work. I'm tired of TV & YouTube.

How do the circuit programmers work, are they a down load or play them online? I hope they are easy to use and easy to understand.

I'm almost blind I have eye surgery in 3 week, then new glasses, maybe I can see again.

I use Kicad, free and does everything I need from schematic to finished board production files.
A bit of a learning curve, but worth it.

The name you are searching for is "Schematic Editor". To produce a circuit board you feed the output of the "Schematic Editor" to the "Layout Tools".

I'd recommend EasyEDA standard edition from JLCPCB to you if I didn't know you'll just gripe and complain about it.

Are you (A) trying to draw a circuit to simulate its behavior with a virtual oscilloscope and so-on or...

Are you (B) trying to draw a circuit to submit to a PCB manufacturer to make boards?

I want to draw a circuit then simulate it to see how well it works. Then edit the circuit to make improvements.
