You shouldn't need to do anything on the software side of things but it wouldn't be the first time an Nvidia to Nvidia upgrade wouldn't go flawlessly.

If you run into any problems, it's best to run DDU: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Recommended usage

• You MUST disconnect your internet or completely block Windows Update when running DDU until you have re-installed your new drivers.
• DDU should be used when having a problem uninstalling/installing a driver or when switching GPU brand.
• DDU should not be used every time you install a new driver unless you know what you are doing.
• DDU will not work on network drive. Please install in a local drive (C:, D: or else).
• The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best.
• If you are using DDU in normal mode, Clean, reboot, clean again, reboot.
• Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe).
• It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues.

Did you already buy the RTX 2070 Super? If not, you may want to wait a bit for the RTX 3070. It will easily outperform the 2070 Super for about the same price.
