OK after a few blind alleys I think I may need to add "noksmboot" option
to the kernel parameters.
During boot I select the menu option and press "e" and get a list of
the kernel options and the kernel command line.
But I have no cursor, no way to select the line and edit it.
What am I missing her?
Use your cursor keys and you may see the cursor move as it
is at the beginning of the top line. At least so on my Linux system.

If I use MCC to install the Nvidia driver the system fails to boot
I added "nokmsboot" to the kernel command from the grub boot menu and
the boot still fails.
I's nouveau or nothing
I've run out of ideas!
Have you tried blacklisting Noveau and whitelisting nVidea?
If you look on the web or forum you might get more intormation on
what is involved but I think I heard that displacing Noveau is
a task. I only had to due it once years ago on Mandriva.
Good luck and take some time away from this specific problem.

I am reasonable convinced that I used the Nvidia 340 drivers and I found that they are now deprecated

Unfortunately we are dropping the R340 "nvidia340" driver due to
security issues in the NVIDIA binary blob. Several affected GPUs
supported by the updated R390 driver will be switched over from R340.
Where that does not happen, nouveau will be used. If you see problems
try X11 vesa driver; try editing the first boot menu entry and change "xdriver=free" to "xdriver=vesa".

My graphics card is identified as Geforce 635 or higher
I may have to upgrade or stay with nouveau

Yes, I dumped my nvidia 210 card a year ago, when I saw that nvidia was dropping support for the 340 driver. I switched to AMD, and I'll never
go back. Time was when nvidia was best at supporting Linux, but no
longer. AMD is MUCH better these days.
I bought my cards used on eBay. Of course you have to watch what you are buying, but there are a lot of decent desktop components available
there, rescued by recyclers, and sold at very reasonable prices.
Does the installer deal with the AMD graphics driver during installation
as with Nvidia.
# lspcidrake -v|grep Card

MGA8 has installed successfully with the Nvidia card. So if I stick with
it and abandon MGA7, I may dodge a bullet.
There will be a little bit of work to customise things and install the printer/scanner and I can use MGA7 as a template.

If you're not a gamer and/or someone who needs state-of-the-art
graphics processing, then an onboard Intel GPU will do just fine. ;)

The Nvidia card worked OK for years. But when I heard about Nvidia
dropping support, I looked around for a replacement. I thought about
using the onboard gpu, and it probably would work, but when I saw a much newer, more capable card on eBay for less than $15 US, I went with that.

Not always, because not all onboard gpus are Intel. Some are Nvidia,
and some are AMD.

One has to be able to recognize a more capable card also.
I would require extensive re-education on card capabilities and
functions, ie a new career path
I will always wonder why an upgrade broke the nvidia connection
But that is a sleeping dog now

Linus got tired of having to work around Nvidia's intransigence
regarding the proprietary nature of their drivers, and so he changed the
way the Nvidia driver must interface with the kernel. Nvidia in
turn have chosen not to implement this change into their
older-generation drivers.
It was Nvidia's decision to break that compatibility instead of doing
what AMD and Intel have been doing, which is to release their drivers
under the GPL. The company's name is after all Nvidia.
What's in a name, right? ;)

For AMD,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units is a good place to start.
