What is the part number for the optical drive?

That is not an external drive.
It may or may not work with Windows 11, but it is worth a try.
You will need a SATA data cable and SATA power from the PSU.
Plug it in, boot to Windows and log in to see if Windows can provide the required driver from its hardware driver update catalog.
There was a discussion about it from 2019 in the forum
