I have an older power supply that you want to use with a newer machine. It only has a 4-pin CPU connector, but the motherboard needs an 8-pin. Would using a Molex to CPU 8-pin adapter work for a Ryzen 2400G? Also, just a heads up—I'm new here, so please let me know if I made any mistakes!

You can connect the 4-pin EPS to the 8-pin EPS port. It should supply ample power for a 2400G unit, though I've encountered boards that didn't function properly except under very challenging conditions. If your PSU is outdated, consider rethinking its use in your setup. Could you share the exact model?

It could be pulled from like a dell prebuilt, in which case it's probably fine to use, but otherwise yeah

Dell's power supplies have modest wattage, yet their build quality remains decent. For a setup relying solely on the integrated graphics, it's acceptable. Note: Ensure the PSU is no older than about 10 years or not exclusive.

In 2021, I wouldn't rely on a PSU with only a 4-pin EPS port. A 4-pin connector can still function properly in an 8-pin setup, though you'd miss half of the connections.
