This luddite has a question...
My daughter's computer decided it no longer wants to talk to the LAN I set up in the house. I opened up her CPU to put in a network card I have from an older system only to find her network is on board.
Finally to the question... Can I just install this card and move her network connection to the new card ? or should I be taking this in ...?:-)

Thanks in advance.

Multiple cards are allowed on most systems.

Give it a shot. Put it in and set it up and see.

:-) Shouldn't be an issue. You could always disable on the onboard NIC in the start-up bios.
