I will get a new PC with Windows10 instead of old one with Windows XP. Is it possible to move my Indesign CS2 Ver 4.0.5 to the new one and to run it unter Windows 10 ? If yes, how to do it ? If no, will it be possible to run Indesign in the XP-Emulation of new Windows-10-PC ?

Adobe programs cannot be moved bvetween machines. You need to install using installation files. In the case of CS2, the activation server was shut down some years ago, so Adobe made a spoecial version available for those who wish to reinstall... whether or not it will install properly on a Windows 10 machine is uncertain. You likely need to try to do so in compatibility mode if it is an option.
