US purchased iMac in Europe

We have a late 2015 iMac currently running Monterey 12.7.6. I do not think it will take another operating system update. We are working on a move to Spain and I need to decide if I take this iMac with or replace it prior to the move with a new MacBook.

The question is; will this US spec iMac from late 2015 function in Spain with a change of power cord or will I need to use a converter and plug the iMac into the converter? I am hoping it is compatible with just a cord change and I can concern myself with the replacement once we arrive in Spain.

Thanks

iMac 21.5″, macOS 12.7

If you get the new Mac laptop in Spain get it from an Apple store and have them change the language to English. You can take in your Time Machine drive so they can migrate your user data from the TM drive to the new laptop.

You only need a plug adapter.

You just need a plug adapter or a Spanish power cord. The iMac's power supply is multi-voltage and supports 100 to 240 volts so will have no issue with the Spanish power grid.

Thanks all. I thought that it was multi voltage but wanted to make sure. I will buy an adapter and then I can purchase a new MacBook and retire this old girl after we are settled. Thanks again.
