Your motherboard supports 1070 for sure. First you have to check the psu if it is capable for running the 1070 and the cpu for bottlenecks. As for the upgrade you can download a program called ddu that have an option to uninstall graphics drivers for installing new gpu. After that the pc shut down you swap the cards and download the new gpu drivers.

Kindly provide complete system SPECS. What's the exact make/model of your Motherboard ? And, what's the last BIOS version ? Some older gen mobos, with LEGACY BIOS, are not fully compatible with newer GPUs. But, why do you want to upgrade to the GTX 1070, coming from a GTX 1060 ??

Make and model number of your PSU ??
