Piggybacking on what Test Screen Name has said... you're going to buy a new PC but put some fairly old software on it. There are some work arounds (for now). Eventually, you'll need to consider upgrading the software too Best of luck to you!

You will need the CS5 installer and a valid 24 digit serial number.

If you have your original disc then install from that.

PS. If you have CS5 installed on an old computer which you are retiring and don't need any more then open any app such as Photoshop and click Help > Deactivate to free up the activation in use on that computer.

I do have the original box and discs and when I installed it I actually kept a note of the codes.

If I have the original will I still need CS5 intaller?

The original disc includes the installer.

Many people lose their discs and then look online to download the installer. Sounds like that's not you.
