I'm thinking about selling my 4060 to upgrade to a 5070, but I'll have a gap of about three weeks without a graphics card since the new one won't arrive until after I sell the 4060. My CPU lacks integrated graphics, so I'm considering borrowing my friend's old GTX 650 from his PC. Can I use that GPU with my B760m-h2/m.2 motherboard, or will there be compatibility issues?

Using an old GPU like the GTX 650 will probably just let your PC boot up. Don't expect much more than that, but it'll get the job done for basic tasks.
Yes, the GTX 650 should work just fine with your motherboard! You might have to lower your monitor's refresh rate or resolution if it's set really high, but it should boot up without issues.
You might need to turn on CSM mode and disable Secure Boot to see anything before Windows boots fully. And yes, uninstalling the current Nvidia drivers beforehand is a good idea.
Definitely! PCIe slots are backwards compatible. You might run into some driver installation issues on a modern OS, though. Just keep that in mind.
