Is this new power cable compatible with my desktop? or will it fry everything?

Hello everyone, my desktop is an HP compaq from 2015 and on the power supply it reads "AC input 100-240 V-/4 A,50-60 Hz" then "DC output shall not exceed 240 W"

and on the actual power cord to the power suppy reads "10A 125V"

I bought a new European powercord because I am in europe now, but it reads " 10A 250V"


can I still use it? or will I destroy my desktop if I use it?
 
Solution
Some years ago Europe switched from 240 to 250 V. The input voltage of your PSU ranges from 100 to 240. The 250 V is only marginal higher, and your PSU should not have any problem with it.

Some PSUs will have a toggle switch on the back between the two power requirements and some are smart enough to sense the voltage.
