USA Computer

I have bought a US computer but I am struggling to find the correct UK Adapter
Any help would be appreciated

You will most likely need a 240 volt to 120 volt converter if UK voltage is 230-240 volts. If you have the correct power cord for the computer I assume you just need the step down Something like this I would assume.

Usually US plays for computers are 3 prongs and only one is rounded. UK has 3 straight long prongs. Do you have an adapter on your plug already?

Plus international adapters/converters are common. The one Johnb linked should work.

If he has a US computer it really comes down to if it has a auto switching voltage power supply. If he does all he need is the right cable.

They gave you other solutions too since not all PSUs are auto switching between 120/220. The plug adapter works if it accepts both voltages.

I brought one over that auto on'd and didn't check,. was 120v only, plugging that into 220v mains instantly shot plumes of smoke out the back lol
