Problems with SSL Config at MySQL and PowerBI

Hi!

I'm trying to visualize my mysql database data on powerBI. I can't do it since for PowerBI to work, SSLMode has to be set to Required. Since by default is set to preferd I'm trying to change it's mode. I've follower the mysql documentation to do that that's hosted on the site. I've created all certificates and keys necessary using OpenSSL and now I intend to use them to config ssl on the server side.
The problem is it talks about modifying a certain 'my.cnf' file which I have absolutely no idea where it is(and by that I mean I don't know it's path on my PC so I can't locate it, and also don't know what to open it with).So I'm stuck at that point of the tutorial. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Also I wouldn't know where to put the instructions the tutorial specifies I put in the my.cnf file next, which are these:
[mysqld]
ssl-ca=ca.pem
ssl-cert=server-cert.pem
ssl-key=server-key.pem

Do I have to write them in full somwhere? or modify a specific line of the file? It's all very confusing to me since I'm very new to all of this.
I'd really apreciate anyone's help on this matter! Thanks!

The documentation I'm following is this: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/using-encrypted-connections.html
