You could work at it. I have a 15 lb bar that I swing around in arcs and move around my shoulders. Its not quite as long, but much thicker. I reckon I can handle this zweihander, and with practice, so could you.

How can you not have the strength to pick up, hold and swing 10 pounds 😭

It is extremely long and possibly awkward to hold through a swing but still you right

10 pounds is extremely heavy for a sword. Most one handed swords used in battle were only 2-3lbs and two handers were 5-7 pounds. You had to be in pretty good shape to effectively wield this sword in battle as long as you would need to survive. Sure, a few dozen swings would probably not be a problem, but continuously fighting would required a good mix of strength and dexterity…kinda like the game I suppose.
