I would like to know if I can, because my pc has an HDMI cable. I have a windows 10 HP desktop.

@japan_knight Almost certainly not.

To put it simply, there's two types of HDMI port - HDMI-IN, and HDMI-OUT.

Your SNES Classic has an HDMI-OUT port. It needs to be connected to an HDMI-IN port.

Your desktop PC has an HDMI-OUT port (to connect to a monitor's HDMI-IN port). It's quite unlikely that your PC also has an HDMI-IN port.

But if you've got a desktop PC, you've presumably got a monitor/TV for it, so you should be able to connect directly to that with your SNES (maybe needing an adapter if your monitor doesn't have HDMI).

I've never written HDMI so many times in my life. Livin' it!

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

@japan_knight Your monitor will want to have inbuilt speakers or an audio-out connected to speakers if you want to hear anything.

Found out about the HDMI IN/OUT ports not too long ago. And I think you need certain graphic cards to run HDMI systems through PC. Pretty sure NVidia does this, but they're not cheap. I thought mine had it, I'm not entire sure.

EDIT: I take that back, actually, your best bet to playing on PC is via a capture device. Likely an internal one since USB based ones have lag.
...Still, though...
