Hi Everyone... I have an older build that I recently updated to High Sierra and it is working fine. In another thread Gigamaxx advised me not to go beyone High Sierra because my graphics card would not be supported. And he gave me several suggestions. (Thank you.) I just bought a MSI Geforce GT 710 fanless card. What do I need to know before I swap it out? And will I be able to go to Mojave afterwards? Thanks!

The likelihood is that it will just work, (and no harm done if tried) as OSX has the drivers but there may be a need to undo the changes you made to get the 210 working, - eg (probably) no need to inject Nvidia. As for the PC working in Mojave - probably, have a search for your Mother Board.
 
Thank you.
 
Should work OOB. I have one in a second Hack, Mojave, iMac14,1. Even iTunes movies are working fine once they are downloaded (streaming doesn't work so I guess Netflix wouldn't work neither, not using it here...).
