How to make storage from a laptop?

Question

Computer networks

There is a desire to watch photos and videos from a computer on TV, the computer connected to the TV is very weak and is considered only as a file storage, I want to reproduce it using TV. HDMI connection is rejected for this reason.
I can connect with any cable. What options are there to make it look just like a flash drive in a TV set? WiFi is not very suitable, because there is a heavy video, which also sometimes needs to be watched.

Answer 1

and if you buy a sata => usb adapter and plug the hard drive directly into the telly ??
