No you need a new power supply

You need to purchase a new power supply with the 24 pin connector. Otherwise you could damage the Motherboard and CPU.

I doubt it. Very much!

Lenovo motherboard is custom 16 pin so they had 16 pin power supplies produced.
The Dell motherboard uses a standard ATX format 24 pin.
You do not state your country for shopping.
You need a new power supply.

Please note that if you plan to buy a Dedicated Video Card, then you will need a new power supply anyway.
I don't see any on amazon so most likely you will need a new power supply to go with that setup. Amazon does sell a 24-pin female to 14-pin male adapters for an aftermarket power supply to a Lenovo board but not the other way around.
