Cassette confusion for turbo trainer

Hi, hope someone can help here?

I'm currently using a Giant Contend SL2 Disc (2019) as my road bike. I've now purchased a Wahoo Kickr Core to use for indoors.

The Giant bike has a Shimano Tiagra 11-34 cassette but a 20 speed groupset (2x10).

I have bought a Shimano 105 R7000 11-34 to fit onto my KICKR however I have now realised that the bike cassette is actually a 10 speed.

Question is - should I return my new cassette and get a 10 speed for the turbo or is the 11 speed compatible with my bike?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for that, yeah the 11 part of the 11/34 threw me at first.

I've reordered and will send mine back.

An 11 speed cassette won't work happily on 10 speed Tiagra. Buy a 10 speed cassette.

If you can, for ease, I'd return it & get a 10 speed cassette.
