When = I started to install High Sierra on my Sierra partition, the installer = told me I need to update the firmware.  I bailed.

My question = is: 

If I = update the firmware, will it bork my MacPro5,1 so that it will no longer = boot from El Capitan?

I=E2=80=99ve searched for an answer, and most people seem to = throw fate to the wind and commit to High Sierra forever.  I=E2=80=99= m not that guy.

Can anybody help, or direct me to some info?  

Thanks,
