MacBook Pro MacOS Mojave - Smart Board

I have a MacBook Pro running MacOS Mojave (10.14.6). I cannot update because I have 7TB of photos sorted and edited in Aperture legacy software. I need to be able to connect with Smart Boards in schools to show Keynote presentations. I tried to download the software but it requires 12.0.0. Is there software available for 10.14.6 that would allow me to connect with a Smart Board? Or do I need to buy a separate laptop for this? For my last presentation, I exported to PowerPoint and transferred to a Windows school computer, but it messes with the fonts and transitions.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

You need to contact the people who make the smart board, they are likely the only ones who know where to get software for their stuff.

I believe your best option will be to buy a separate laptop.

Understandably you're unwilling to give up the old Mac because of your legacy needs, but macOS Mojave is long obsolete and there is no practical way to drag the old tech into the contemporary computer world.

This was inevitable.
