Hello, an old desktop pc is now extremely slow with Windows 10. It is an i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz, with 4BG ram and a hdd.
I am thinking about buying a ssd, installing Windows 11 and all the programs there, and keeping the hdd as data disk. I had done this kind of basic things before with a couple of pcs I assembled myself and everything came easy.
But this pc was bought assembled and the power supply is closed with a label asking to keep it closed. Should I open it, or how can I bring power to the disk? The cable which supplies with power to the hdd continues and has a lose end (P5 in the picture). Would that supply with power to my new ssd?

Also, do you think I would need more RAM memory? Microsoft is asking for a minimum of 4GB Ram for Windows 11, but I wonder if that's really enough for smooth performance
