After upgrading the motherboard and graphics card, I did not reinstall the Windows system.
I just replaced my computer's motherboard and graphics card. The old ones were an ASUS Strix B250 paired with a GTX 1070, and the new ones are an ASUS Prime H610 paired with an RTX 4060 Ti. I booted up without reinstalling the system, and so far it seems to be working fine. I have a few questions:
Will there be any driver conflicts or other issues if I continue using it like this long-term?
Windows Update says my version of the service has ended (see image). Should I update or reinstall the system?
There are three devices in Device Manager with yellow exclamation marks. What's the best way to handle this?
If anyone has experience with similar upgrades, please help me out. Thanks!

Back up your stuff and do a clean Windows install when you have time. It's the best way to avoid headaches with a hardware swap this big. But for now, just get those drivers and updates sorted.

Use tools like Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to remove old GPU drivers completely, then install the latest drivers for your new RTX 4060 Ti.
