You can run a node easily.
Your bitcoin stay "in" your cold storage. No changes needed here.
You can use almost any computer with enough disk space (2 TB and SSD recommended) and just install the software "Bitcoin Knots". Then it will automatically download the Blockchain, which will take some days. After that it runs on its own.
