    You do not need premamod for upgrades, any card will work, except for few versions that start EC panic, such as Dell cards.

    The 1060 seems to be not causing many issues, mostly it's just getting the heatsink to fit just right.

    If it's a kit I would assume so, but you can always ask.

    Reboot in driver signing disabled mode to install them (advanced restart option) once installed you can run normally.
