Negative on all that.

I realize I have no onboard GPU.

So I should probably find a tech whos done this before? Without onboard you have to agree with my assessment that this is incredibly high risk? Does Geek Squad do stuff like this? Even if I didn't buy it from them?
Well, no not really, I've done it several times with no issues and don't really understand the issue you are worried about. I just uninstall it in Windows, reboot safe mode, driver sweep (DDU) maybe do 2 times if I am feeling anxious and then turn off, do the hardware swap, boot up and grimace at the shit resolution, try intercept Windows driver installation since it thinks it knows wtf to do sometimes, but always does not and then install the drivers for the new card. ^^
