2 LANS on one switch?
I have a new GS728TPPV3. My question is can I dedicate some ports to 10.0.x.x and some to 192.168.x.x on the same switch?

Yes, of course you can configure multiple VLANs, on any Easy Smart, Plus, and Smart Switches (of course Fully Managed Switches, too.
Please tell us a little bit more about the two network,nthe topology, the number of devices to be xp texted to each of the two networks - and last but not least on the router or routers you intend to operate these two networks on. The switch does not care much about the two IP subnets, as long as you don't expect the switch doing short cut IPv4 routing between these.

My home network is 10.0.x.x and I bought a dozen devices that come from the factory using 192.168.x.x. I would like to migrate them all to the 10. network and the only way I can think of is to plug them in and see if I can migrate them manually.
So no reason for operating two VLAN and two IP subnet networks.
Whatever these unknown devices with factory default addresses on the 192.168.x.x network are - very strange in the mid of 2025 new devices don't come by default on DHCP or at least on ZeroConf in case there is no DHCP server active on the network (or an overly-managed network not allowing random MAC addresses without additional network security work).
A possible approach is to configure a PC to the same IP subnet, to a free address, and reconfigure these unknown devices manually.
Difficult to help without more insight. Most devices allow operations as a DHCP client nowadays.
Admitted, I have bought and received some very low-cost DANTE / AES67 devices from mainland China, which came with default RFC1918 192.168.x.x IP addresses preconfigured for commodity, to allow certain out of the box AES67 point-to-point operations out of the box. So had challenged the manufacturer and the chipset-maker to allow some smarter dev-ops. The network we intend to operate these is an unmanaged DANTE network, where Audinate best practices are requesting for DHCP and a fall-back to link local (so called ZeroConf addresses 169.254.0.0/16).
As a temporary workaround, we have statically (fixed) assigned ZeroConf IP addresses to these devices - as long as correct ZeroConf and DCHP client isn't available. This is a hack, just some workaround, not a solution however.
So please provide more insight on the make and model of your unknown devices if you need assistance from the Netgear community side.
Better contact for assistance would be the unknown device support organisation or the maker or manufacturer of these devices. We're happy to learn more about, and might be able to help.

This could help for temporarely setting a static aka. fixed IP address on your PC -> https://kb.netgear.com/27476/How-do-I-set-a-static-IP-address-in-Windows - after re-configuring the 192.168.x.x network devices to DHCP, don't forget reverting your computer adapter to DHCP.
These are generic ONVIF security cameras labeled as "GW" brand. Model # GW4571MIP. I bought them in about 2016. The things you are saying to me are way above my expertise.

I think you should contact GW Security and see if they can help you track down the software tools you need (and definitively identify your old camera model).
I took a quick look at one of their manuals, and they use a software tool that can find the camera and then change the IP address from there. There might be a way to do this from your browser, but that would also require you to know the default password for the camera (not just how to set up your network to the right subnet).
Did you also get their NVR? Or just the cameras?
Best guess these are cameras (and some recording software or a DVR) from GW Security.

Can't provide relief related to the need for configuring your PC to the 192.168.x.x network and some unused IP address. From that PC you should be able to login to the camera with the admin admin credentials.
Good part at least is that this business appears to be still active, has a support channel, an address, and last but not least some support phone number.
Alternate approach would be to figure out why your LAN is on a 10.0.x.x IP subnet. More labor intensive would be to reconfigure the complete 10.0.x.x network (and probably many devices) to the more common 192.168.x.x IP subnet. One possible reason for that other network could be that your router (again an unknown make and model) is connected to another router-like device like a cable modem with a built-in NAT router, which is already on the 192.168.x.x IP subnet.
I set up this network in about 2015 from scratch on the 10.x network. You are correct it would be a pain in the neck to rebuild dozens of devices to the 192.x. So, It seems to me that the easiest and best way to do this is reconfigure half the ports to 192.x leaving the other half on the 10.x network. Can you show me a document in the simplest way to do this?
Haven't heard back from you all. What is a simple way to configure 12 ports to 192.x and 12 ports to 10.x? Shouldn't be any more complicated than that. Many thanks!

I suspect you won't find it simple. You should read the sections on VLANs and routing functions in the manual.
