[QUOTE="gnarlybole, post: 1919591, member: 403512"] Apologies. I'd completely forgotten that, by 2013, Apple had integrated the GPU into the logic board. I certainly don't think it would be advisable to stick the whole board into an oven! As for Time Machine backups: you should be able to reinstall data from them even if your disk is HFS+ formatted and your new Mini is running Catalina. I suppose once your Mini is up and running you [I]could[/I] reformat your old backup to APFS, but I'd be tempted to buy a new one (more expense I'm afraid) and keep the data on the old one... just in case.
