So I have the mac version of creative suite 5 and I want to install It to my PC. However, I want to use the pc version and need to install the trial before I can install cs5 on my pc. But I cant find the trial anywhere.

Not possible. No change is platform available for that old version of CS5 and no Trial of CS5 either.

Just to be clear: a download would not help you at all because your Mac serial number could never be used with the Windows product. Adobe used to do platform swaps for free, for current releases only. So a platform swap was available only until CS6 was released.

      Other users don't know WHY so we can only report WHAT... and the what is that Adobe has removed ALL public download links for CS6 and earlier

       

      NOTE - CS3 and earlier are COMPLETELY gone from the Adobe file server
      .
      The process below USED to work (until April 14) if you bought a download direct from Adobe... an employee is trying to find out why this process no longer works, so IF you bought a download direct from Adobe, check back every day to see if the process starts working again
      .
      For CS6 back to CS4 you may download ONLY if you bought direct from Adobe via download
      -Log-in to your account and click this link https://account.adobe.com/products
      --click Order history on the left and then the link to your order that will show on the right
      --and finally click the link "Downloads and serial numbers" that will appear
      --as always, write the serial number in a text file AND copy that text file and the
      ---download file(s) to an external drive (or two) to be sure you have what you need
      -if you did not buy direct from Adobe via download you must find your original install
      --if you have an Education or volume license you MUST use your original media
      --the link for an Education or volume license download is not available at all
      -if you bought a disc and don't have a drive you will need to buy an external USB drive
      -if you bought a download from a 3rd party vendor you will need to contact that vendor
