Can I just replace the cassette to get a different gearing? (sopuli.xyz)

I recently got a "new" bike to replace my stolen one, and my one complaint about is that the lowest gear is still too high for some of the hills I ride on. Now, I counted 26 teeth on the largest gear on the cassette. Can I just get a new cassette with more teeth, adjust the derailleur and be done?

Yeah I've no idea what the teeth capacity on this is, changing a chainring is likely easier and less risky.
