We had HDMI to HDMI in the bedroom.My girlfriend took the computer when we separated.
I`m not tech savy so, I don`t know if it supports my Windows version.
The adapter was bought off of Amazon.com.
I don`t know if the adapter has a brand...it`s a blank black cable.
Adapter did not have instructions.

Get a chromecast
I say return brand new TV
Get TV that matches input devices
Brand New TV/Smart TV could be a waste of money in this case.

What's on the back of your computer? The screen connectors are on the back. It should have one or all of the outputs
@IschKabibble mentioned, possibly even HDMI.If you wanted to do HDMI to USB you need a special adapter like this one:

If you go with just a straight HDMI to USB cable it won't work.
My brother has this same hunk o junk and the front usbs stopped working.
Well,there is no question that the adapter shown is different from the one I bought.What's on the back of your computer? The screen connectors are on the back. It should have one or all of the outputs

I tried upscaling your image to try to see what you have. Notes are on the picture. Basically I can't 100% make out what you have.
This picture below shows the different types of ports used to display. With any of these you can get an adapter to connect your TV.
Those are USB ports. His PC has the old PS/2 ports for mice.
I am willing to bet his onboard graphics card doesn’t have the power or drivers to send a signal to his new TV.
Like others have mentioned, if you get a fire stick or ROKU, you can run sites on your new TV. That computer is lucky it still works on the Windows 95 that is running it. I am not being condescending. That computer and OS is likely no longer supported by Microsoft. There is no way that is Windows 10. so I would guess at best, Windows 8 which was last released in 2013.
