Upgrade from full working installation of High-Sierra. No problems, no freezes, everything is working fine like in HS. Runs like charm! Thanks for the guide!
No. That's too big a jump from El Cap to Mojave. If you are using a Mac Pro 3,1 SMBIOS, you'll have to change it to something like iMac 14,2. which will probably break all your paid applications which depend upon computer serial number. Additionally, Mojave has no Nvidia drivers except for the old Nvidia native drivers. Consequently, you'll need to switch to a AMD graphics card like the Sapphire 560/580 Pulse 8GB cards. You've got a big headache ahead of you.Is it possible to directly update from El Cap to Mojave?

If you do decide to change your graphics card, use a Mojave UniBeast created USB Installer after you backup up your El Cap drive.
Always best to research hardware first before installing/upgrading any operating system.So, I did an upgrade to Mojave according to this guide - which worked - only to find out afterwards that there are no NVIDIA web drivers for my GPU .
I checked the complete install guide for hints and found that there are several warnings to stay at High Sierra with newer graphic cards.
You should seriously put such a warnings at the beginning of this guide as well!
