That warning you get is not telling you to do anything. It is the developers' responsibility to make sure they have a new version that does not use extensions. Ignore it, or ask the makers of your "must have" apps.

From an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session you can issue the following command to see what 3rd party kernel extensions your system is currently using:

kextstat | grep -v com.apple


You should always wait a few iterations of a new OS to get the bugs worked out, that's likely a year from now!


No need to worry, but to see them, just don't upgrade to 10.16 if the developers don't have updates...
